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.
