GPS software toolbox for GPS receiver development

%                              veciecef.m
%  Scope:   This MATLAB macro performs the transformation from ECI (Earth 
%           Centered Inertial) to ECEF coordinates for a given position vector
%           and time elapsed since reference time; WGS-84 earth's rotation 
%           rate constant is used.
%  Usage:   pecef = veciecef(peci,dtime)
%  Description of parameters:
%           peci  -  input, ECI position vector (with components in meters)
%           dtime -  input, time elapsed since reference time in seconds
%           pecef -  output, ECEF position vector, with components in 
%                    same units as the input ECI position vector
%  Remarks: The ECI to ECEF transformation takes into account only Earth's 
%           rotation, i.e. no Earth's precession and mutation effects.
