Stochastic resonance (SR) has become a well-known phenomenon that can enhance weak periodic signals with the help of noise. SR is an interesting phenomenon when applied to signal processing. Although it has been proven that SR does not always improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), in a...

“End of Moore’s Law” has recently become a topic. Keeping the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the same level in the future will surely increase the energy density of smaller-sized transistors. Lowering the operating voltage will prevent this, but the SNR would inevitably degrade. Meanwhile,...

Fully nonlinear filter theory is applied to a simple threshold system, which plays the role of an observer of input signals from a Brownian dynamical system. Our filtering results are discussed within the frameworks of both stochastic resonance and self-tuning of the threshold values, which...
