%\begin{abstract}
Radio Detectors have been succesfully applied for detecting airshowers, 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.

but an accurate timing is needed to follow this signal.
Advanced analyses require a timing accuracy on the order of $1$~nanosecond, while current detectors reach a timing accuracy up to around $10$-nanoseconds.

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.
This might introduce a timing difference for GPS chips, decreasing the total timing accuracy attained by the detector.
