There are 3 options that I can think of: 1) Use multiple SDRs at each location. 2) Run an optimization algorithm as a post processing step to figure out what the phase synchronization should be. 3) If there is a transmitting satellite near there in frequency, use that to determine what the phase synch should be.
Each of these has a problem. 1) The necessary budget is larger. 2) This will be computationally expensive if the feature to search for is unknown. 3) The sat signal and the bursts being looked for may propagate through the ionosphere differently and so this may prove to be unreliable.
