In this paper, the identification of continuous-time fractional order linear systems (FOLS) is investigated. In order to identify the differentiation or- ders as well as parameters and reduce the computation complexity, a novel identification method based on Chebyshev wavelet is proposed. Firstly, the Chebyshev wavelet operational matrices for fractional integration operator is derived. Then, the FOLS is converted to an algebraic equation by using the the Chebyshev wavelet operational matrices. Finally, the parameters and differentiation orders are estimated by minimizing the error between the output of real system and that of identified systems. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
