RF Part 

The receiver gets filtered and enhanced GNSS signal from the antenna via a coaxial 
cable. The RF part converts the RF input signals into the IF signal, and converts IF 
analog signals into digital signals required for NebulasIV chip. 

 

NebulasIV SoC   

NebulasIV is UNICORECOMM’s new generation high precision GNSS SoC with 22 nm low 
power design, supporting all constellations, multiple frequencies and 1408 super 
channels. It integrates a dual-core CPU, a high speed floating point processor and an 
RTK co-processor, which can fulfill the high precision baseband processing and RTK 
positioning independently.   

 

External Interfaces 

The external interfaces of UM960 include UART, I
