Noise Improvements in Stochastic Resonance: from Signal Amplification to Optimal Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is demonstrated that benefits from the noise can be gained at various levels in stochastic resonance. Raising the noise can produce signal amplification as well as signal-tonoise ratio improvement, input–output gain exceeding unity in signal-to-noise ratio, and enhanced performance in optimal processing. This series of benefits is successively exhibited in the processing of a periodic signal coupled to a white noise through essentially static nonlinearities. Especially, it is established that noise benefits in stochastic resonance can extend up to optimal processing, by considering an optimal Bayesian detector whose performance is improvable by raising the level of the noise.

Chapeau-Blondeau, François, Stochastic Resonance and Optimal Detection of Pulse Trains by Threshold Devices, Digital Signal Processing 9 (1999), 162–177. The nonlinear detection by a threshold device of a periodic train of soliton-like pulses embedded in arbitrarily distributed white noise is studied. A theoretical model is developed which provides expressions for the signal-to-noise ratio at t...
متن کاملStochastic focusing: fluctuation-enhanced sensitivity of intracellular regulation.
Many regulatory molecules are present in low copy numbers per cell so that significant random fluctuations emerge spontaneously. Because cell viability depends on precise regulation of key events, such signal noise has been thought to impose a threat that cells must carefully eliminate. However, the precision of control is also greatly affected by the regulatory mechanisms' capacity for sensiti...
متن کاملConstructive Action of Additive Noise in Optimal Detection
The optimal detection of a signal of known form hidden in additive white noise is examined in the framework of stochastic resonance and noise-aided information processing. Conditions are exhibited where the performance in the optimal detection increases when the level of the additive (non-Gaussian bimodal) noise is raised. On the additive signal–noise mixture, when a threshold quantization is p...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of stochastic resonance with ergodic diffusion noise
A subthreshold signal is transmitted through a channel and may be detected when some noise – with known structure and proportional to some level – is added to the data. There is an optimal noise level, called stochastic resonance, that corresponds to the highest Fisher information in the problem of estimation of the signal. As noise we consider an ergodic diffusion process and the asymptotic is...
متن کاملStochastic resonance for an optimal detector with phase noise
A stochastic resonance e/ect, under the form of a noise-improved performance, is shown possible for an optimal detector. This is established with a nonlinear signal–noise mixture where the noise acts on the phase of a periodic signal. The optimal detector, achieving minimal probability of detection error, is explicitly derived. Conditions are exhibited where this minimal probability of error is...
