Abstract :
In this paper, we present results from analysis of GPS signals received in Ankara, Turkey. The main purpose of this study is to introduce a new technique, which uses pseudorange differences instead of phase differences, that enables us to make rough estimates of the TEC by using GPS observables. In this algorithm, we use the time difference between pseudoranges of L1 and L2 signals to obtain hourly TEC value. The results for the coverage area of the system is presented.
