Marked signal improvement by stochastic resonance for aperiodic signals in the double-well system

Abstract

On the basis of our mixed-signal simulations we report significant stochastic resonance induced input-output signal improvement in the double-well system for aperiodic input types. We used a pulse train with randomised pulse locations and a band-limited noise with low cut-off frequency as input signals, and applied a cross-spectral measure to quantify their noise content. We also supplemented our examinations with simulations in the Schmitt trigger to show that the signal improvement we obtained is not a result of a potential filtering effect due to the limited response time of the double-well dynamics.
