Abstract

A dual tone multi-frequency receiver having an improved automatic level control is described. The level control is performed after the filtering operation instead of before the filtering operation as was done in previous designs. Separate channels are derived for each of the tone groups and are handled separately for automatic level control in feed forward responsive correction circuits. Improved responsiveness to twist distortion with a fast attack tracking and holding capability results.
