A new Fractional Fourier transform based design of a band-pass FIR filter for power feedback in nuclear reactors under noisy environment

A new discrete Fractional Fourier transform based Kaiser-window design technique has been adopted in this paper for the synthesis of a band-pass filter (BPF) in finite impulse response (FIR) form. The filter design is attempted with the aim of efficient power feedback with the measured sensor data, to the regulating system of nuclear reactors. The ill effects of integer and fractional order noise in the online power measurement and feedback have been reduced with the BPF which helps in efficient reactor control.
