Abstract

A method and an apparatus for identification of a monitoring signal at a base station in a radio telephone system, in which a number of monitoring signals having different frequencies are used for monitoring the quality of radio links between the base station and mobile stations. The apparatus includes a multipath-type bandpass filter having an adjustable bandwidth for filtering the monitoring signal, the filter being arranged to be adapted to a desired monitoring signal frequency and the bandwidth of the filter being arranged to be narrowed in a steplike manner during the filtration period. An indicator is provided for identifying the monitoring signal on the basis of the level of the bandpass-filtered signal.
