The group delay in the pulse shaping filter (in this case, RRC) causes
these leading zeros.  This is something I'd like to figure out a "proper"
solution for, but my quick hack that works pretty well is to duplicate the
PN sequence as it goes into modulate_vector, then take only the second half
of the samples of the output for the correlation block.

This then "pre-fills" the filter with data that is arguably the right
spectral shape, and the resulting second-half vector works much better than
the original way.

Again, this is a quick hack, but it works well.
