An Overview of Noise Added Systems

  • Chapter
Stochastic Resonance

Abstract

In the last few years, the idea that extremely interesting phenomena can be generated by adding input noise to a non-linear system has found favour with a number of research groups [111]. Recent studies, for example, have focused on the behaviour of bistable threshold-based systems forced by both a periodic signal with an amplitude lower than the threshold and a stochastic component. The phenomenon involves a rapid increase in the signal-to-noise ratio, with an optimal noise variance value, and the presence of a peak in the output signal spectrum, corresponding to the frequency of the forcing signal. The phenomenon has been called Stochastic Resonance (SR) [121].
