We present numerical results for the synchronization phenomena in a bilayer network of repulsively coupled 2D lattices of van der Pol oscillators. We consider the cases when the network layers have either different or the same types of intra-layer coupling topology. When the layers are uncoupled, the lattice of van der Pol oscillators with a repulsive interaction typically demonstrates a labyrinth-like pattern, while the lattice with attractively coupled van der Pol oscillators shows a regular spiral wave structure. We reveal for the first time that repulsive inter-layer coupling leads to anti-phase synchronization of spatiotemporal structures for all considered combinations of intra-layer coupling. As a synchronization measure, we use the correlation coefficient between the symmetrical pairs of network nodes, which is always close to 1 in the case of anti-phase synchronization. We also study how the form of synchronous structures depends on the intra-layer coupling strengths when the repulsive inter-layer coupling is varied.
