Enhancement of signal-to-noise ratio

It is shown that the ratio of signal-to-noise ratio at the output to that at the input can be made larger than unity when a nonlinear system is subjected to a weak periodic perturbation and a harmonic noise. This theoretical result is in conformity with the experimental observation published recently by R. Liet al.
