Standalone detectors typically receive their timing from a \gls{GNSS}.
These standalone detectors typically receive their timing from a \gls{GNSS}.
Previously, for timing of water-Cherenkov detectors, this timing accuracy was better than the resolved data\Todo{rephrase}.
Even for the first analyses of radio data, this was sufficient.
However, for advanced analyses such as radio interferometry, the timing accuracy must be improved.

% Structure summary
In this thesis, a solution to enhance the timing accuracy of air shower radio detectors is worked out\Todo{word}.
First, introductions to radio interferometry and waveform analysis are given in Chapters~\ref{sec:interferometry}~and~\ref{sec:waveform}.
First, an introduction to radio interferometry is given in Chapter~\ref{sec:interferometry}.
This will be used later on and gives an insight into the timing accuracy requirements.
\\
Chapter~\ref{sec:waveform} reviews typical techniques to analyse waveforms to obtain timing information.
\\
Chapter~\ref{sec:disciplining} introduces the concept of a beacon transmitter to synchronise an array of radio antennas using techniques from the preceding chapter to constrain the achievable timing accuracy.
\\
Chapter~\ref{sec:single_sine_sync} shows\Todo{word} how a sine wave beacon can synchronise an array while using the radio interferometric approach to resolve\Todo{word} an airshower.
\\
Finally, Chapter~\ref{sec:gnss_accuracy} investigates the limitations of the current hardware in \gls{GRAND} and its ability to record and reconstruct a beacon signal.
