The distance between the transmitter $T$ and the antenna $A_i$ incur a time delay $(\tProp)_i$ caused by the finite propagation speed of the radio signal over these distances.
Since the signal is an electromagnetic wave, its instantanuous velocity $v$ depends solely on the refractive index~$n$ of the medium as $v = \frac{c}{n}$.
In general, the refractive index of air is dependent on factors such as the pressure and temperature of the air the signal is passing through and the frequencies of the signal.
However, in many cases, the refractive index can be taken constant over the trajectory to simplify models.

% lifting period multiplicity -> long timescale
Synchronisation is possible with the caveat of being off by an unknown integer amount of periods $\Delta k_{ij}$.
In phase-locked systems this is called syntonisation.
There are two ways to lift this period degeneracy.

First, if the timescale of the beacon is much longer than the estimated accuracy of another timing mechanism (such as \gls{GNSS}),
First, if the timescale of the beacon is much longer than the estimated accuracy of another timing mechanism (such as a \gls{GNSS}),

With an estimated accuracy of the \gls{GNSS} below $50 \ns$ the correct beacon period can be determined, resulting in a unique $\tTrueEmit$ transmit time\todo{reword}.

% DTFT from CTFT
Spectral information in data can be obtained using a \acrlong{FT}.
The continuous formulation of the \acrlong{FT} takes the following form,
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:fourier}
X(f) = \frac{1}{2\pi} \int_\infty^\infty \dif{t}\, x(t)\, e^{i 2 \pi f t}
\phantom{.}
X(f) = \int_\infty^\infty \dif{t}\, x(t)\, e^{-i 2 \pi f t}
.
\end{equation}
It decomposes the signal $x(t)$ into complex-valued plane waves $X(f)$ of frequency $f$.
The general (continuous) \gls{FT} \eqref{eq:fourier} can be discretized in time to result in the \acrlong{DTFT}:
When $x(t)$ is sampled at discrete times, the integral of \eqref{eq:fourier} is discretized in time to result in the \acrlong{DTFT}:
\begin{equation}
\tag{DTFT}
\label{eq:fourier:dtft}
X(f) = \frac{1}{2\pi N} \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(t[n])\, e^{i 2 \pi f t[n]}
X(f) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x(t[n])\, e^{ -i 2 \pi f t[n]}
\end{equation}
where $X(f)$ is the transform of $x(t)$ at frequency $f$, sampled at $t[n]$.
where $x(t) \in \mathcal{R} $ is sampled at times $t[n]$.
Considering a finite sampling size $N$ and periodicity of the signal, the bounds of the integral in \eqref{eq:fourier} collapse to $t[0]$ up to $t[N]$.
\\
From this it follows that the lowest resolvable frequency is $f_\mathrm{lower} = \tfrac{1}{T} = \tfrac{1}{t[N] - t[0]}$.
\\
Additionally, when the sampling of $x(t)$ is equally spaced, the $t[n]$ terms can be written as a sequence, $t[n] - t[0] = n \Delta t = \tfrac{n}{f_s}$, with $f_s$ the sampling frequency.
The highest resolvable frequency, known as the Nyqvist frequency, is limited by this sampling frequency as $f_\mathrm{nyqvist} = \tfrac{f_s}{2}$.
\\
% DFT sampling of DTFT / efficient multifrequency FFT
Implementing the above decomposition of $t[n]$, \eqref{eq:fourier:dtft} can be rewritten in terms of multiples $k$ of the sampling frequency, becoming the \acrlong{DFT}
\begin{equation*}
\label{eq:fourier:dft}
\phantom{,}
X(k) = \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n]\, \cdot e^{ -i 2 \pi {\frac{k n}N} }
,
\end{equation*}
with $k = \tfrac{f}{f_s}$.
For integer $0 \leq k < N $, efficient algorithms exist that derive all $X( 0 \leq k < N )$ in $\mathcal{O}( N \log N )$ calculations, a~\acrlong{FFT}, sampling a subset of the frequencies.\Todo{citation?}

% DFT sampling of DTFT / efficient multifrequency FFT
When the sampling of $x(t)$ is equally spaced, the $t[n]$ terms can be decomposed as a sequence, $t[n] = \tfrac{n}{f_s}$ such that \eqref{eq:fourier:dtft} becomes the \acrlong{DFT}:
% Linearity fourier for real/imag
In the previous equations, the resultant quantity $X(f)$ is a complex value.
Since a complex plane wave can be linearly decomposed as
\begin{equation*}

%\\ &
= \Re\left(e^{-i x}\right) + i \Im\left( e^{-i x} \right)
,
\end{aligned}
\end{equation*}
the above transforms can be decomposed into explicit real and imaginary parts aswell,
i.e.,~\eqref{eq:fourier:dtft} becomes
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:fourier:dft}
\phantom{.}
X(k) = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} x[n]\, \cdot e^{ i 2 \pi {\frac{k n}N} }

When the beacon frequency is known, a single \gls{DTFT} needs to be evaluated.
From this $X(f)$, the magnitude $A$ and phase $\pTrue$ are derived using
The normalised amplitude at a given frequency $A(f)$ is calculated from \eqref{eq:fourier:dtft} as

A(f) \equiv \frac{ 2 \sqrt{ X_R(f)^2 + X_I(f)^2 } }{N}
.
\end{equation}
The decomposition of $X(f)$ into a real and imaginary part
Likewise, the complex phase at a given frequency $\pTrue(f)$ is obtained by
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:complex_phase}
\phantom{.}
\pTrue(f) \equiv \arctantwo\left( X_I(f), X_R(f) \right)
.
\end{equation}
\\
With a constant beacon frequency, the coefficients for evaluating the \gls{DTFT} can be put into the hardware of the detectors.
% Recover A\cos(2\pi t[n] f + \phi) using above definitions
Applying \eqref{eq:fourier:dtft_decomposed} to a signal $x(t) = A\cos(2\pi t[n] f + \pTrue)$ with the above definitions obtains
an amplitude $A$ and phase $\pTrue$ at frequency $f$.
When the minus sign in the exponent of \eqref{eq:fourier} is not taken into account, the calculated phase in \eqref{eq:complex_phase} will have an extra minus sign.
% Beacon frequency unknown -> either zero-padding FFT or DTFT grid search
\bigskip
% Static sin/cos terms if f_s, f and N static ..
When calculating the \gls{DTFT} for multiple inputs which share both an equal number of samples $N$ and equal sampling frequencies $f_s$, the $\sin$ and $\cos$ terms in \eqref{eq:fourier:dtft_decomposed} are the same for a single frequency $f$.
Therefore, these can be precomputed ahead of time, reducing the number of calculations to $2N$ multiplications.
% .. relevance to hardware if static frequency
Thus, for static frequencies in a continuous beacon, the coefficients for evaluating the \gls{DTFT} can be put into the hardware of the detectors,
opening the way to efficiently measuring the phases in realtime.\Todo{figure?}

The traces will contain noise from various sources, both internal (e.g.~LNA~noise) and external (e.g.~radio~communications) to the detector.
A simple noise model is given by gaussian noise in the time-domain, associated to many independent random noise sources.
Especially important is that this simple noise model will affect the phase measurement depending on the strength of the beacon with respect to the noise level.
In the following, this aspect is shortly described in terms of two frequency-domain phasors;
the noise phasor written as $\vec{m} = a \, e^{i\pTrue}$ with phase $-\pi < \pTrue \leq \pi$ and amplitude $a \geq 0$,
and the signal phasor written as $\vec{s} = s \, e^{i\pTrue_s}$, but rotated such that its phase $\pTrue_s = 0$.

% Noise phasor description
The noise phasor is fully described by the joint probability density function

% Random phasor sum
In this work, the addition of the signal phasor to the noise phasor will be named ``Random Phasor Sum''.

from $\vec{a}^2 = a^2 {\left( \cos \pTrue + \sin \pTrue \right)}^2$
to ${\left(\vec{a} - \vec{s}\right)}^2 = {\left( a \cos \pTrue -s \right)}^2 + {\left(\sin \pTrue \right)}^2$
