This Note examines the application of Schroeder-phased harmonic signals, which have low peak factors, to the measurement of the dynamics of a nuclear reactor, i.e., the frequency response. The theory of such signals is given, and their properties relevant to such an application are discussed. The results of experimental measurements taken on a zero-energy research reactor are presented.
