Abstract

By testing a received signal for power, frequency content, and stability, one can measurably improve DTMF signal detection and identification performance in voice store and forward systems. The algorithms described here have been found to be especially useful in minimizing talk-off. Further, the approach improves the performance with acoustic-type generators and minimizes transhybrid loss.
