C erta in comp lex syst ems can gener ate pheno mena that classical theory cannot explain. Their behavior ma y be rep resent ed by a simpli fie d sch eme tha t com-  bines both a deterministic and stochastic source [8], [12], [15]. To that end, researchers are using noise in various syst ems to enha nce theirfunctionwithout alter ing the syst em. Noise-Added Systems The se stu die s foc us on the beh avi or of bis ta ble , thr esh - old-based systems that are forced by both a periodic signal, wit h an ampli tud e lower tha n thesyste m thr esh old , anda sto - chastic component. The interaction between the two signals transforms the system function at the same frequency of the perio dic forcing signal.

Thi s is cal led stochastic resonance (SR) [9], [14]. The SR phenomenon can be interpreted as a reduction in threshold. Fig. 1(a) illustrates the case of a Schmitt trigger.
