  A new approach is proposed to the integrated analysis of the time structure
of synchronization of multidimensional chaotic systems. The method allows one
to diagnose and quantitatively evaluate the intermittency characteristics
during synchronization of chaotic oscillations in the T-synchronization mode. A
system of two identical logistic mappings with unidirectional coupling that
operate in the developed chaos regime is analyzed. It is shown that the widely
used approach, in which only synchronization patterns are subjected to analysis
while desynchronization areas are considered as a background signal and removed
from analysis, should be considered as methodologically incomplete.
