Abstract
We investigate pattern formation in oscillatory reaction-diffusion systems where wave sources and sinks are created by a local shift of the oscillation frequency. General properties of resulting wave patterns in media with positive and negative dispersion are discussed. It is shown that phase slips in the wave patterns develop for strong frequency shifts, indicating the onset of desynchronization in the medium.
