Abstract:	GNSS time and frequency transfer is one of the most important techniques to maintain International Atomic Time (TAI). However, only a few companies are manufacturing GNSS receivers which meet the standards for time and frequency transfer. Thus, software GNSS radios have been studied very actively in recent years and also members of NICT have developed a GNSS software receiver for precise time and frequency transfer. Our receiver does not only track L1 signals but also handles L2 civil signals which have become available with the generation of IIR-M satellites. In the paper we compare the measurements of the developed receiver against those from a commercial hardware receiver and confirm the consistency of the results.
