The nodes are phase-locked loops (PLLs) with slightly different free-running frequencies. The synchronous state emerges from a dynamic process with the phase interactions generating a common frequency steady state. In this work, an estimation is analytically obtained for the synchronous state in a generic N-node network. Numerical experiments complete the analysis of the fully connected network relating free-running frequencies, node gains, and propagation delays. %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/mpe/2006/052356/abs/
