%\begin{abstract}
Radio Detectors have been succesfully applied for detecting airshowers, which are caused by a cosmic ray impinging on the Earth's atmosphere. 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. 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. A difficulty for radio detectors is that, because of their extent, the stations need to communicate wirelessly,

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