We present here a concept of measuring local ties between collocated GNSS and VLBI stations using the microwave technique that effectively transforms a GNSS receiver to an element of a VLBI network. This is achieved by modifying the signal chain that allows to transfer voltage of the GNSS antenna to a digitizer via a coaxial cable. We discuss the application of this technique to local tie measurement. We have performed observations with a GNSS antenna and FD-VLBA radiotelescope and detected a strong interferometric signal from both radiogalaxies and GNSS satellites.
