Suprathreshold Stochastic Resonance in a Single Comparator

Stochastic resonance usually appears when stimulus is too weak to overcome barriers in a nonlinear system. Unusually, we demonstrate that in a simple competitor as a prototype model, stochastic resonance can still occur when the stimulus is predominantly suprathreshold. This result provides new knowledge for understanding of mechanism underlying information process in biological systems and aIso finds appfications in signal processing.
