A novel method based on continuous wavelet transform (CWT) using Haar wavelet function for approximate derivative calculation of analytical signals is proposed and successfully used in processing the photoacoustic signal. An approximate nth derivative of an analytical signal can be obtained by applying n times of the wavelet transform to the signal. The results obtained from four other different methods - the conventional numerical differentiation, the Fourier transform method, the Savitzky-Golay method, and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method - were compared with the proposed CWT method; it was demonstrated that all the results are almost the same for signals without noise, but the proposed CWT method is superior to the former four methods for noisy signals. The approximate first and second derivative of the photoacoustic spectrum of Pr(Gly)(3)Cl-3. 3 H2O and PrCl3. 6 H2O were obtained using the proposed CWT method; the results are satisfactory.
