The invention discloses a Duffing equation-based weak complex
signal detection method, which utilizes the parameter sensibility and the
noise immunity of the Duffing equation solution to detect the useful
signal which is annihilated in the
noise. At first, the complex Duffing detection equitation is built, and is then utilized to detect the complex
signal, the method comprises the steps that: all the parameters in the equation are determined; the
noise variance of the complex signal is estimated, the estimated value is utilized to calculate the
gain, wherein e is the expected noise variance of the complex signal to be detected after the
gain, the unit is
watt, then the complex signal to be detected is multiplied by the
gain, so the complex signal to be detected after the gain is obtained; the complex signal g multiplied by cs(t) to be detected after the gain is substituted in the complex Duffing detection equation which is adjusted to the critical state, the solution to the equation is solved, and is utilized to calculate the maximum
Lyapunov exponent of the equation; and the output is judged to be detected with useful signal or not according to whether the maximum
Lyapunov exponent of the stabilized equation is smaller than 0 or not.
