This paper addresses the problem of synchronizing a group of identical linear time-invariant agents that exchange information through a communication network. The agents may only broadcast information at discrete-time instants and the decision to execute a broadcast is based on an event-triggered communication protocol. We prove that with the proposed control architecture the state of each agent converges to and remains in a neighborhood of a desired reference signal and the closed-loop system does not exhibit Zeno solutions. A self-triggered implementation of the proposed event-triggered communication protocol is also derived.
