abstract = "The Earth's upper atmosphere presents a region particularly rich
of free electrons, the ionosphere. Such high concentration makes
the ionosphere the major natural contributor to the degraded
quality of the GNSS signals received at ground. In polar regions,
such as in Antarctica, this degradation can be stronger, creating
serious problems in using GNSS devices for logistic and scientific
purposes. An ionosphere monitoring station, based on a GNSS signal
acquisition system and on a software radio receiver, has been
installed in two research stations in Antarctica, in the frame of
the DemoGRAPE project. The full system is not only able to monitor
TEC and scintillation activity in GPS L1 C/A and L2C signals, but
also to grab and store raw unprocessed samples for postprocessing
analysis by means of software radio techniques. This paper
presents the description of the setup and of the installation of
the system as well as a report of the first results obtained by
processing the data acquired during the first week of operation.",
