Foreword This document describes the information of the hardware, installation, specification and the use of of Unicore UT4B0 product. Audience This manual is applied to the technical personnel, who possess the expertise of GNSS receivers.
Equipped with the new generation multi-constellation, multi-frequency high precision NebulasII SoC from Unicore, UT4B0 supports 432 channels. With the powerful processing capability and the built-in JamShield multi-frequency anti-jamming technology, it simultaneously tracks the multi-constellation, multi-frequency satellite signals such as BDS, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and performs multi-frequency anti- jamming processing, significantly improving the timing stability and reliability.
Pulse Per Second (1PPS) UT4B0 provides one IPPS signal with adjustable output pulse width and polarity. Reset (RST) Low active, with retention time no less than 5ms.
Pin definition: UT4B0 data / power interface is designed with 8 Pin (2 × 4) pins, with a standard spacing of 2mm. Pin Layout 2.1 Pin Definition Description ANT_PWR Antenna DC power 3.3V DC power Transmit, LVCMOS logic level Hardware reset, active low...

3.2 Module Reset Signal UT4B0 needs to be reset correctly before it can work normally when it is powered on. To ensure effective reset, the reset pin RST of the module and the power supply VCC shall meet the following timing requirements when powered on. Pulling down the RST pin for over 5ms during normal operation of the module can also reset UT4B0.

Step 2: Select GNSS antenna with proper gain, set up the GNSS antenna in a stable and unsheltered area and connect the antenna and the module through the coaxial RF cable. When installing the antenna, Ant antenna interface in UT4B0 module corresponds to the antenna at the moving base station.
Step 6: Operate the receiver through UPrecise and record relevant data 4.3 Power-on Connect the serial port and GNSS antenna of UT4B0, start the power supply (UT4B0 supply voltage at 3.3VDC). The receiver starts and quickly establishes communication upon being powered on.
Install the power supply and antenna according to 4.2 Installation Guide, connect the board and switch on EVK. File -> connect the serial port and set the baud rate. The default baud rate of UT4B0 is 115200bps. Figure 4- 6 Serial Port Configuration Click the “receiver setting”...

5.1 High Precision Timing Setting High precision timing is based on the fixed position (i.e., the receiver antenna is installed in a fixed position) to provide a stable and reliable timing output. UT4B0 supports three timing modes: fixed-location timing, optimized-location timing, and positioning timing.
