Synchronization in the network of chaotic microwave oscillators

Time scale synchronization in networks of chaotic microwave oscillators with the different topologies of the links between nodes has been studied. As a node element of the network the one-dimensional distributed model of the low-voltage vircator has been used. To characterize the degree of synchronization in the whole network the synchronization index has been introduced. The transition to the synchronous regime is shown to take place via cluster time scale synchronization. Meanwhile, the spectral structure of the output signals is complicated sufficiently which allows using such devices in a number of practical applications.
