Supervisory audio tone detection in a radio channel

摘要

Supervisory audio tones received from a mobile telephone unit are converted from analog to digital form. The tone is then converted to a complex number by bifurcating the tone path and multiplying one path by a sine function and the other path by a cosine function. The complex numbers are accumulated and the frequencies where significant power exists is found using the discrete Fourier transform. If the power at an assigned frequency exceeds a threshold, the corresponding supervisory audio tone is declared to have been detected.
