A Novel Piecewise Tri-Stable Stochastic Resonance System Driven by Dichotomous Noise

Abstract

Stochastic resonance (SR) has been widely studied as a means of signal processing since its conception. Since SR is different from other denoising methods in nature, it can be used for not only feature extraction but also signal enhancement. Additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is often used as a driving source in SR research due to its convenience in numerical simulation and uniform distribution, but as a special noise, it is of great significance to study the SR principle of dichotomous noise as a driving source for nonlinear dynamics. In this paper, the method of piecewise tri-stable SR (PTSR) driven by dichotomous noise is studied, and it is verified that signal enhancement can still be achieved in the PTSR system. At the same time, the influence of the parameters of the PTSR system, periodic signal, and dichotomous noise on the mean of signal-to-noise ratio gain (SNR-GM) is analyzed. Finally, dichotomous noise and AWGN are used as the driving sources of the PTSR system, and the signal enhancement ability and noise resistance ability of the two drivers are compared.
