Continuous dynamics for a linear coupled-oscillator array with peripheral coupling-phase adjustments

Abstract

A continuum model of the dynamics for a coupled-oscillator array that presents an intuitive insight into the behavior of the frequency-tuned array was introduced recently. In this paper, we further develop the continuous dynamics for the coupled-oscillator array with a coupling-phase adjustment of the coupling circuit at the peripheries of the array. The adjustment is verified by related experimental measurements. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
