Of course, this means that the clock defects $\tClock$ can only be resolved up to the beacon's period, changing \eqref{eq:synchro_mismatch_clocks} to

First, if the timescale of the beacon is much longer than the estimated accuracy of another timing mechanism (such as a \gls{GNSS}),
one can be confident to have the correct period.
In \gls{AERA} for example, multiple sine waves were used amounting to a total beacon period of $\sim 1 \us$\cite[Figure~2]{PierreAuger:2015aqe}.
With an estimated timing accuracy of the \gls{GNSS} under $50 \ns$ the correct beacon period can be determined, resulting in a unique $\tTrueEmit$ transmit time.

A second method consists of using an additional discrete signal to declare a unique $\tTrueEmit$.
This relies on the ability of counting how many beacon periods have passed since the discrete signal has been recorded.
A second method consists of using an additional (discrete) signal to declare a unique $\tMeasArriv$.
This relies on the ability of counting how many beacon periods have passed since this extra signal has been recorded.
Chapter~\ref{sec:single_sine_sync} shows a special case of this last scenario where the period counters are approximated from an extensive air shower.

Taking one antenna as the reference antenna with $(\tClock)_r = 0$, the mismatches across the array can be determined by applying \eqref{eq:synchro_mismatch_clocks} over consecutive pairs of antennas and thus all relative clock deviations $(\Delta \tClock)_{ir}$.

As discussed previously, the synchronisation problem is different for a continuous and an impulsive beacon due to the non-uniqueness (in the sine wave case) of the $\tTrueEmit$ of the transmitter.
As discussed previously, the synchronisation problem is different for a continuous and an impulsive beacon due to the non-uniqueness (in the sine wave case) of the measured arrival time $\tMeasArriv$.
This is illustrated in Figure~\ref{fig:dynamic-resolve} where a three-element array constrains the location of the transmitter using the true timing information of the antennas.
It works by finding the minimum deviation between the putative and measured time differences ($\Delta t_{ij}(x)$, $\Delta t_{ij}$ respectively) per baseline $(i,j)$ for each location on a grid.
