Experimental evidence of enhancement in the anticipation time by cascading

•Enhancement in anticipation time via cascading had been a theoretical and numerical concept so far.•We provide the experimental verification of the enhancement in anticipation time using cascading Chua's circuits.•To generate delay, LR circuits are used instead of the LC/CR circuits.

We have studied and verified experimentally the enhancement in the anticipation time by cascading Chua's circuits. The experiments have been carried out in a one dimensional array of Chua's circuits (2 to 8) coupled unidirectionally, such that each one acts as a master for the next one. By doing so, it has been observed that the anticipation time increases with an increase in the array size. Moreover, the numerical simulations of an array of eighty Chua's circuits verify the experimental observations.
