Isochronous synchronization in mutually coupled chaotic circuits.
This paper examines the robustness of isochronous synchronization in simple arrays of bidirectionally coupled systems. First, the achronal synchronization of two mutually chaotic circuits, which are coupled with delay, is analyzed. Next, a third chaotic circuit acting as a relay between the previous two circuits is introduced. We observe that, despite the delay in the coupling path, the outer dynamical systems show isochronous synchronization of their outputs, i.e., display the same dynamics at exactly the same moment. Finally, we give here the first experimental evidence that the central relaying system is not required to be of the same kind of its outer counterparts.
