A dual-frequency software-defined GPS receiver has been developed and used for monitoring total electron content (TEC) and observing equatorial ionospheric scintillation. The Cornell University GPS Receiver Implemented on a DSP (GRID) utilizes the GPS L1 C/A and L2 C signals to measure TEC and observe scintillation. The GRID receiver measured TEC and GPS signal amplitude and phase at 10 Hz. Also employed were two similar GPS digital storage receivers (non-real-time) that made the same measurements at 50 Hz. These receivers were arranged in a linear array and utilized in January, 2009 in Natal, Brazil (magnetic latitude 2.42°) to make these observations. Mild scintillation of the L1 C/A and L2 C signals was observed. TEC measurements agreed well with those taken by a collocated GPSV 4004B Scintillation/TEC Monitor. We demonstrate the use of multiple receivers to measure drifts and report on the first fast (10Hz-50Hz) multiple receiver TEC measurements in the equatorial ionosphere.
