The Dynamics of Small-Sized Ensembles of the Phase-Locked Loops with Unidirectional Couplings

Resumo

We study collective dynamics of a small-sized chain of the unidirectionally coupled phase-locked loop. The conditions for the synchronous-regime existence are found, the asynchronous selfoscillation regimes and the transitions among them are studied, and the property of inheriting the structure of the parameter space of the chain when a new element is added to it is established.
