INTRODUCTION

DTMF stands for Dual Tone Multi Frequency.

Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) is used for
telecommunication signaling (telephones and voice mail
systems).
Dual Tone Multi Frequency is a technology that can be used
to send information through phone lines.

 It uses speech frequency signals.

The version of DTMF that is used in push-button telephones
for tone dialing is known as Touch-Tone.
Allow users and devices to dial at much higher rate because
of the uniformity of numbers.
DTMF is also used for signaling between the Telephone
network and computer networks.
Numbers and commands issued from a keypad.
DTMF signals are the superposition of 2 sine waves with
different frequencies.
Allow users and devices to dial at much higher rate because
of the uniformity of numbers.

HISTORY
DTMF was the driving technology implemented in pushbutton telephones.
Push-buttons in telephony originated around 1887 with a
device called the micro-telephone push-button.
This use even predated the invention of the rotarydial by
Almon Brown Strowger in 1891.

Set of high

Set of

frequencies

Button click generates a

combination
8 => S(852, 1336)

Each digit corresponds to a high frequency and a low

frequency
- Both are transmitted simultaneously
Works by sending two sinusoids for each symbol pressed on
the telephone keypad.
The tones are divided into two groups:
Low group: 697 Hz, 770 Hz, 852 Hz, 941 Hz
High group: 1209 Hz, 1336 Hz, 1477 Hz.
The DTMF system uses eight frequency signals transmitted in
pairs to represent sixteen numbers, symbols and letters.
The HT9170B IC, using digital counting techniques, decodes
these two tones to determine the key being pressed.

Special tone frequencies

National telephone systems define additional tones to indicate
the status of lines, equipment, or the result of calls with special
tones.
Such tones are standardized in each country and may consist
of single or multiple frequencies.
Most European countries use a single precise frequency of
425 Hz, where the United States uses a dual frequency system.

Signal to noise ratio

Quantity used to describe the quality of signal.
(SNR)

Ratio of magnitude of wanted signal to unwanted

signal expressed in dB.
The transformation from dB to noise power is done
following way:
SNR dB 10 log10 ( Px ) 10 log10 ( Pw )
Where

Px = Signal Power
Pw = Noise Power
