Summary:
In this paper, pulse-coupled oscillators with a refractory period and frequency distribution are investigated experimentally. The experimental results show that the stability condition of globally synchronization which was derived analytically in [Konishi and Kokame, 2008] is valid even for the experimental situations. In the case that the coupled oscillators have wide frequency distribution, the experimental results agree well with the analytical results. On the contrary, for narrow frequency distribution, there is a somewhat difference between the experimental and the analytical results. Our numerical simulations show that this difference would be reduced when the number of oscillators becomes large.
