Abstract Weak signal detection has been widely used in many fields such as military and national economy. Aiming at the problem that the traditional stochastic resonance (SR) method can’t obtain the signal amplitude when detecting weak signals, the frequency and amplitude of the weak signal are obtained by combining the SR and chaos characteristics of the two-dimensional Duffing system. Firstly, the effects of two-dimensional Duffing system parameters a, b, k, noise intensity D on the Kramers rate and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are analyzed under the Gaussian white noise environment. The results show that the damping ratio K can hinder the SR effect of the system to some extent. Secondly, to solve the misjudgment of the state method of the weak signal amplitude in the detection, the Lyapunov exponent is used to assure the threshold's range, and the threshold of the chaotic critical state is found. Finally, the paper gives the processes of frequency and amplitude detection of multiple high-frequency signals, which realizes the effective detection of the frequency and amplitude of multiple high-frequency signals in a Gaussian white noise environment, and successfully applies the method to the accurate detection of boundary voltage amplitude in electrical impedance tomography.
