Summary: 
In this study, synchronization phenomena in chaotic oscillators coupled by a transmission line are investigated. In particular investigation using real circuits is done for the first time. It is confirmed that the chaotic subsystems synchronize, although signals propagating along the transmission line are affected by the time delay. Further the period-doubling bifurcation with varying the time delay and anti-phase synchronization phenomena are observed in our circuit model. Also the voltage distribution of transmission line is simulated in order to investigate whether the current flowing through the transmission line is constant or not. It is found that the subsystems synchronize although the current through the transmission line keeps on varying.
