NMEA is an ASCII format while UBX is a binary format. UBX contains
messages and one message type is RXM-RAW which contains the data that
rtklib parses. The file
ANTARIS_Protocol_Specification(GPS.G3-X-03002).chm which maybe can
still find from the internet documents the UBX protocol in more
detail.

And btw, please try to keep this on foss-gps list so that also other
people can learn and follow the discussion.
