Abstract
A symmetric Schmitt trigger pumped by both a colored noise and a periodic s ignal is investigated in the near-threshold regime, where the amplitude of the periodic signal is set slightly above the trigger threshold. The trigge r performances are shown, both theoretically and numerically, to be extreme ly sensitive to increasing the noise correlation time. Noise-induced resona nces are analyzed in some detail.
