Information about the dynamic behavior of a power reactor may lie in the amplitude modulation waveforms of some of the reactor noise signal components. This information may help in better understanding of the dynamic behavior of the reactor. The noise signal component of interest is filtered from a wide spectrum of potentially unwanted signals. Consequently the amplitude modulation waveform of the signal of interest is distorted. In order to recover the information lost by the filter distortion, the amplitude waveform of the signal of interest is deconvolved with the amplitude modulation waveform of the filter response (Amplitude Impulse Response). A direct and easily implemented deconvolution technique is used.
