+	Radio Detectors have been succesfully applied for detecting air showers, which are caused by a cosmic ray impinging on the Earth's atmosphere.
 	In such an airshower, successive interactions will create charged particles which in turn cause a specific electromagnetic signal.
 	Measuring the development over time of such a signal will give a better insight in the energy content of the shower, and, in turn, allow for better resolution of the initial cosmic ray's properties.

 	A difficulty for radio detectors is that, because of their extent, the stations need to communicate wirelessly,
-	but an accurate timing is needed to follow this signal.

-	Since radio detectors only have a horizontal extent, keeping to horizontal showers allows for using the spatial distance as an additional timing mechanism.

+	Another example is the use of beacons.
 	Sending out a specific signal allows to track this signal across individual stations.
 	By introducing characteristics into the signal such as beating, the stations then have a time calibration system setup.

 	This internship concerns itself with increasing the timing accuracy by investigating the various mechanisms (and their issues) used as timing calibration.
 
-	For example, since the spatial extent of the radio detectors is large, it might happen that a station on one side might track more or different satellites than a station on the other side of the detector.
