1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a receiver system, a modulated carrier signal, wherein the carrier signal is modulated using a reference signal, and wherein an acquisition by a digitizer is synced to the reference signal such that the modulated carrier signal has known timing with respect to a start of an acquisition within the digitizer;
routing the modulated carrier signal through the receiver system to generate a processed signal;
receiving the processed signal at the digitizer;
digitizing the processed signal at the digitizer; and
determining a delay of the modulated carrier signal routed through the receiver system based on the timing of the processed signal.
