Product overview
The NM872F provides positioning and heading functions in a 16 mm × 21 mm × 2.8 mm module built around Jinwei’s NEMO chip, which integrates baseband and radio-frequency functions. Built-in inertial navigation supports deeply coupled GNSS+INS processing and INS-assisted calculations. The module supports RTK, DGNSS and PPP positioning, alongside dual-antenna heading calculation and an anti-multipath design. RTK accuracy is ≤1 cm + 1 ppm horizontally and ≤2 cm + 1 ppm vertically at 1σ; heading accuracy is 0.2° at 1σ with a 1 m baseline.
The module requires a 3.0–3.6 V DC supply and provides three UART interfaces plus one each of I2C, PPS and SPI. It receives the specified BDS, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS signals, with SBAS L1 reception optional. Raw-data and RTK positioning updates run at 10 Hz, reducing to 5 Hz when integrated navigation is enabled; integrated-navigation output is 100 Hz. Operating temperature is -40°C to +85°C, with 95% non-condensing humidity. Integrated-navigation dead-reckoning accuracy is 2% of distance traveled over 1 km or 2 minutes.
