Several measurements taken from a pressurized water reactor have been analyzed. The methodology proposes an autoregressive fit whose order is determined by the sensor dynamic poles. Nevertheless, the signals that have been analyzed could not be filtered properly in order to remove the plant noise; thus, this was considered as an additional pair of complex conjugate poles. With this methodology we have come up with the numerical value of the sensor second real pole in spite of its low influence on the sensor dynamic response. This opens up a more accurate online sensor surveillance since the previous methods were achieved by considering one real pole only. date: 2012-06 date_type: published publisher: American Nuclear Society official_url: http://www.ans.org/pubs/journals/nt/a_13596 full_text_status: restricted publication: Nuclear Technology volume: 178 number: 3 pagerange: 318-323 institution: Minas department: Fisica5 refereed: TRUE issn: 0029-5450 rights: by-nc-nd citation: Balbás Antón, Miguel and García-Berrocal Sánchez, Agustin and Montalvo Martín, Cristina and Blázquez, J.
