Abstract

This paper studied the TEC value for Malaysia
regions, based on location of the receivers (latitude, longitude,
height). The 13 location of GPS receiver stations across east and
west Malaysia were chosen and their TEC values were
compared. The determination of the TEC value in ionosphere is
done using leveling process. In the process, the error translated
from code-delay to the carrier-phase is assessed to reduce
carrier phase ambiguities from the data. The positioning error
can be calculated as one unit of TEC introduces a range error of
approximately 0.16 meters at the L1 (1.6 GHz) frequency of
GPS. From the results, the calculated TEC range errors were
from -3.1 meters to 7.2 meters at different receiver locations.
