Summary:
Stochastic resonance (SR) is an interesting phenomenon in that noise enhances system responses. Despite an attractive phenomenon of SR that noise enhances a weak signal below a receiver sensitivity, few researchers have addressed the SR effect in communication systems. Previously, we proposed an analysis method for the SR receiver with a device exhibiting SR and evaluated its bit error rate (BER) performance. However, the device was limited to a non-dynamical device, and there is room for improving the performance of the SR receiver by changing the device. In this paper, we use two typical devices exhibiting SR, i.e., a comparator as a non-dynamical device and a Schmitt trigger as a dynamical device. We evaluate the BER performances of these devices with analysis methods and numerical simulations. A performance comparison of these devices is also shown.
