A second method consists of using an additional discrete signal to declare a unique $\tTrueEmit$. 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 the discrete signal has been recorded. This relies on the ability of counting how many beacon periods have passed since this extra signal has been recorded.

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.

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.
