This work deals with nonautonomous chaotic circuits and, in particular, with the experimental characterization of the synchronization properties of two simple nonautonomous circuits. Two single-transistor chaotic circuits, which are among the simplest chaotic oscillators, are investigated. We studied synchronization of these circuits and found that the most appropriate technique to synchronize two single-transistor chaotic circuits is that based on the design of an inverse circuit.
