Abstract
Abstract
Some nonlinear systems possess innate capabilities of enhancing weak signal transmissions through a unique process called Stochastic Resonance (SR). However, existing SR mechanism suffers limited signal enhancement from inappropriate entraining signals. Here we propose a new and effective implementation, resulting in a new type of spectral resonance similar to SR but capable of achieving orders of magnitude higher signal enhancement than previously reported. By employing entraining frequency in the range of the weak signal, strong spectral resonances can be induced to facilitate nonlinear modulations and intermodulations, thereby strengthening the weak signal. The underlying physical mechanism governing the behavior of spectral resonances is examined, revealing the inherent advantages of the proposed spectral resonances over the existing implementation of SR. Wide range of parameters have been found for the optimal enhancement of any given weak signal and an analytical method is established to estimate these required parameters. A reliable algorithm is also developed for the identifications of weak signals using signal processing techniques. The present work can significantly improve existing SR performances and can have profound practical applications where SR is currently employed for its inherent technological advantages.
