  constructive role of noise in signal detection from parallel arrays of quantizers.(A noisy input signal is observed by means of a parallel array of one-bit threshold quantizers,in which all the quantizer outputs are added to produce the array output.s(t)=s1(t)with prior probability P0,or s(t)=s0(t)with prior probability P1=1-P0 input signal-noise mixture x(t)=s(t)+n(t) x(t) is observed by means of a parallel array of M threshold comparators. yi(t)=U[x(t)+wi(t)-theta],i=1,2...M.wi(t) is threshold noise.Y(t)=y1(t)+y2(t)+...yM(t), the array output Y(t) is meansured at T distinct times.the plot is fthe theoretical value of minimal detection error probability Per varied with sigma.)
