A software GNSS receiver is a specialized form of software-defined radio, implemented as a GNSS receiver. All of our GNSS receiver signal processing downstream of sampling and quantization is performed on a general purpose processor rather than an ASIC or FPGA. In this software-defined approach, one piece of hardware is still needed, the RF front-end. The front-end downmixes, filters, and digitizes the GNSS signal from the satellites and outputs the raw digital stream to the processor. Within the processor, the software-defined GNSS receives and processes the raw stream of GNSS samples to produce a positioning solution.

Standard GNSS positioning, also known as standalone positioning, typically provides accuracy in the range of a few meters. RTK, on the other hand, is a differential GNSS technique that provides centimeter-level accuracy. This high level of accuracy makes it suitable for applications that demand greater precision, such as autonomous navigation.
