<p>A DIGITAL CIRCUIT AND METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF CALL PROGRESS TONES IN TELEPHONE SYSTEMS A digital tone detector circuit characterizes the received PCM encoded signals as one of a plurality of call progress tones, voice signals or silence. The PCM signal is linearized and normalized to a predetermined level in a digital automatic gain control circuit which also provides a signal corresponding to the level of the input signal. A first circuit is responsive to the linear signal for providing a count of the zero level traversals incurred by the linear signal. An envelope detector circuit is also responsive to the linear signal for providing a signal representing the envelope frequency thereof. The composite results corresponding to the signal level, the zero-level traversal count, and the envelope frequency are translated in an evaluation logic circuit to provide an output signal representing the identity of the input PCM signal. A microprocessor is responsive to a plurality of the output signals from the evaluation logic circuit for determining the cadence of the received PCM signals.</p> |
