Abstract

There have been many investigations of the mutual synchronization of oscillators. Especially, we have analyzed N van der Pol type LC oscillators coupled by one resistor, and confirmed that this system can take a huge number of steady states. In this study, we analyze N Wien-bridge oscillators with the same natural frequency mutually coupled by one resister by both of computer calculations and circuit experiments. Because there is no inductor in this system, it is suitable for VLSI implementation. Moreover, the system has many more phase states than that of the system with van der Pol type LC oscillators when N is not so large. So we can utilize this system as a structural element of cellular neural networks
