Abstract :
This article presents the digital signal processing (DSP) tricks employed to build a computationally efficient multitone detection system, implemented without multiplications and with minimal data memory requirements. More specifically, the article describes the detection of incoming dial tones, validity checking to differentiate valid tones from noise signals, and the efficient implementation of the detection system. While the discussion focuses on dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) telephone dial tone detection, the processing tricks presented may be employed in other multitone detection systems
