DTMF Signals
The DTMF is a popular signaling method between telephones and switching centers

DTMF is also used for signaling between the Telephone network and computer networks
The DTMF signals are Transmitted over a telephone line Uses speech frequency signals DTMF signals are the superposition of 2 sine waves with different frequencies

Simulation (cont.)
Detection block operation:
Input: X1XN signal samples

Output: flag to indicate whether the signal has a correlation with the frequency under detection or not
Implementation:
Band Pass around the frequency under detection

Average the absolute value of the BPF output

Comparing the average to an agreed threshold Flag is up the average is greater than the threshold
