Stochastic resonance driven by time-modulated correlated white noise sources

We analyze the effects caused by the simultaneous presence of correlated additive and multiplicative noises for stochastic resonance. Besides the standard potential modulation we also consider a time-periodic variation of the correlation between the two noise sources. As a foremost result we find that stochastic resonance, as characterized by the signal-to-noise ratio and the spectral amplification, becomes characteristically broadened. The broadening can be controlled by varying the relative phase shift between the two types of modulation force.
