Abstract
This paper proposes a dead time measuring method for a linear system. Around the dead time, an impulse response of the system has self-similarity, which can be detected by the wavelet analysis. The proposing method detects the dead time from wavelet transform of a cross correlation function between an input and an output in order to reject disturbances, if the input satisfies a certain condition and disturbances are small. A numerical simulation shows efficiency of the method.
