Hardware implementation of CNN architecture-based test bed for studying synchronization phenomenon in oscillatory and chaotic networks

Abstract

A 3D modular cellular nonlinear network (CNN) architecture-based test bed, with four-neighbor connec- tivity, used to study synchronization phenomena in oscillatory and chaotic networks is designed. The architecture is implemented as hardware panels including a standalone robust Chua's circuit kit. The details of electronic implementation along with several test cases of connecting Chua's circuits in different topologies are provided. Test cases are adequately supported by oscilloscope traces.
