Code and Codeless Ionospheric Measurements with NASA's Rogue GPS Receiver

J. M. Srinivasan, T. K. Meehan, L. E. Young

Abstract:	The NASA/JPL Rogue Receiver is an 8 satellite, non-multiplexed, highly digital global positioning system (GPS) receiver that can obtain dual frequency data either with or without knowledge of the P-code. In addition to its applications for high accuracy geodesy and orbit determination, the Rogue uses GPS satellite signals to measure the total electron content (TEC) of the ionosphere along the lines of sight from the receiver to the satellites. These measurements are used by JPL' s Deep Space Network (DSN) for calibrating radiometric data. This paper will discuss Rogue TEC measurements, emphasizing the advantages of a receiver that can use the P-code when available but can also obtain reliable dual frequency data when the code is encrypted.
