In the technique from \cite{Schoorlemmer:2020low}, the summed waveform $S(\vec{x})$ is computed for multiple locations.
For each location, the power in $S(\vec{x})$ is determined to create a power distribution.
%\\
An example of this power distribution of $S\vec{x}$ is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:radio_air_shower}.
An example of this power distribution of $S(\vec{x})$ is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:radio_air_shower}.
\\
The region of high power identifies strong coherent signals related to the air shower.
By mapping this region, the shower axis and shower core can be resolved.
Later, with the shower axis identified, the power along the axis is used to compute \Xmax.

The direct computation of this transform takes $2N$ complex multiplications and $2(N-1)$ complex additions for a single frequency $k$.
When computing this transform for all integer $0 \leq k < N$, this amounts to $\mathcal{O}(N^2)$ complex computations.

The analytic signal $s_a(t)$ of a waveform $x(t)$ can be obtained using the Hilbert Transform through
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:analytic_signal}
\phantom{,}
s_a(t) = x(t) + \hat{x}(t)
,
\end{equation}
where $\hat{x}(t)$ is the Hilbert Transformed waveform.
The Hilbert Transform corresponds to a \gls{FT} where positive frequencies are phase-shifted by $-\pi/2$ and negative frequencies are phase-shifted by $+\pi/2$.
\\
The analytic signal allows to estimate the overall maximum amplitude of a signal irrespective of sign by determining its envelope.
In Figure~\ref{fig:hilbert_transform}, the envelope of a signal is used to find the time of the maximum amplitude.
Such a mechanism might be used for timing instead of the cross-correlation described in the previous Section.

To test the idea of combining a single sine beacon with an air shower, we simulated a set of recordings of a single air shower that also contains a beacon signal.

The air shower signal was simulated by \acrlong{ZHAireS}\cite{Alvarez-Muniz:2010hbb} on a grid of 10x10 antennas with a spacing of $50\,\mathrm{meters}$.
Each antenna recorded a waveform of $500$ samples with a samplerate of $1\GHz$ for each of the X,Y and Z polarisations.
The air shower itself was generated by a $10^{16}\eV$ proton coming in under an angle of $20^\circ$ from zenith.
