An adaptive method to detect weak signal utilizing duffing oscillator

Abstract

At present, most of the researches set amplitude of driving force fixed when detecting weak signal buried in noise utilizing Duffing oscillator. In this paper, we find the critical value of driving force corresponding to critical state varies with noise power. Taken this into consideration, a new adaptive method to detect weak signal is proposed. In this method, the amplitude of driving force is determined by input power. The simulation results indicate that lowest threshold of SNR can be acquired in this method is lower than that in the methods proposed in most papers.
