Abstract

A baseband processing unit (10) for use in a cellular telephone cell site includes a digital signal processor (20) which serves to process forward voice signals intended for transmission to a mobile unit (12) as well as process the reverse voice signals received from the mobile unit. The digital signal processor further serves to produce a first supervisory audio tone (SAT) for transmission to the mobile unit by generating successive digital SAT samples which are decoded into a continuous tone. In addition, the digital signal processor serves to detect the presence of a second SAT generated by the mobile unit by sampling and processing successive samples of the second SAT and measuring the power thereof.
