Abstract
A system and method of synchronizing clocks within a system having a plurality of base stations, wherein each base station includes a frequency locked clock. A fast moving emitter transmits pulses that are received at each base station. A time of arrival for each pulse received by each base station is recorded and the recorded times of arrival are communicated to at least one of the other base stations. The clocks are synchronized as a function of the recorded times of arrival received from each base station.
