In this paper we present results from flux density measurements for 21
pulsars over a wide frequency range, using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope
(GMRT) and the Effelsberg telescope. Our sample was a set of mostly newly
discovered pulsars from the selection of candidates for gigahertz-peaked
spectra (GPS) pulsars. Using the results of our observations along with
previously published data, we identify two new GPS pulsars. One of them, PSR
J1740+1000, with dispersion measure of 24 pc cm−3, is the first GPS pulsar
with such a low DM value.We also selected several strong candidates for objects
with high frequency turnover in their spectra which require further
investigation.We also revisit our source selection criteria for future searches
for GPS pulsars.Comment: 10 pages, 2 tables, 9 figures, accepted for publication in MNRA
