Parallel array bistable stochastic resonance system with independent input and its signal-to-noise ratio improvement (Q1718407)

Summary: We study the design enhancement of the bistable stochastic resonance (SR) performance on sinusoidal signal and Gaussian white noise. The bistable system is known to show an SR property; however the performance improvement is limited. Our work presents two main contributions: first, we proposed a parallel array bistable system with independent components and averaged output; second, we give a deduction of the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for this system to show the performance. Our examples show the enhancement of the system and how different parameters influence the performance of the proposed parallel array.
