A system for synchronizing transceivers which includes a first and second plurality of transceivers. The first plurality of transceivers are arranged at fixed positions with respect to each other. One of the first plurality of transceivers is configured to transmit a first wideband signal. The second plurality of transceivers are arranged at fixed positions with respect to each other. Each of the second plurality of transceivers is configured to receive the first wideband signal and to generate a respective one of second wideband signals based on the respectively received first wideband signal modified by a respective one of offsets which differ from each other, and to transmit the respective one of second wideband signals. The one of the first plurality of transceivers is configured to receive the second wideband signals which form the basis for synchronizing one of the first plurality of transceivers with the second plurality of transceivers.
