Determining Lamb wave dispersion curves when measuring phase and group velocity values at a fixed frequency is now a common and relevant task. In most cases, in order to solve such a problem, it is necessary to know the exact properties of the material, particularly its thickness. In experimental methods, Lamb wave parameters are evaluated directly from the test materials. This paper proposes a new and simple experimental algorithm for A0 mode group and phase velocity determination based on signal filtering and zero-crossing estimating. The main idea is to capture the zero-crossing instances of the signals closest to the signal envelope peaks and use these time instances to determine the phase and group velocities. The reliability of the proposed method was evaluated using simulated and experimental signals propagating in an aluminum plate. Theoretical modeling has shown that the proposed method enables the calculation of the A0 mode group and phase velocities with a mean relative error of less than 0.7%. An accuracy of 0.8% was observed during the experimental measurements.
