Abstract :
In this study, we analyze a synchronization phenomenon observed from a circuit network consisting of several number of oscillator chains which are one-dimensional arrays of weakly coupled van der Pol oscillators. Computer simulations and circuit experiments show interesting unexpected synchronization phenomenon and theoretical analysis explains the synchronization state.
