# Airshower + Beacon simulation
Simulate receiving an airshower and beacon in an array.
Using the beacon, the clocks can be calibrated.
The ZHaires simulated airshower is stored in [./ZH_airshower](./ZH_airshower).
The produced files can be read using [./earsim](./earsim).
All quantities are stored in HDF5 files with the airshower data.
Steps:
1. Setup
1. Beacon ([./aa_generate_beacon.py])
1. Define tx position
2. Read in antennas
3. Sample beacon at each antenna
4. Add to relevant polarisation
5. Save antenna traces
2. Timeoffset ([./ab_modify_clocks.py])
1. Generate timeoffsets for each antenna
2. Modify time samples
2. Beacon analysis
1. Find beacon frequency and phase in antenna traces ([./ba_measure_beacon_phase.py])
2. Remove phase due to distances
3. Analyse the sigma between antenna pairs
4. Remove 0j part and take the mean of (:,j)
5. Assign mean as clock shift phase of antenna
3. Find k\*2\\pi phase offsets (periods) ([./ca_periods_from_showers.py])
4. Rewrite clocks and do interferometric reconstruction ([./da_reconstruction.py])
