Abstract
A method of dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF) detection which decimates and adaptively filters an input signal is provided to efficiently detect a presence of a DTMF signal. The input signal is provided to a half-band filter (14) to be decimated in frequency in accordance with Nyquist's theory. A decimated input signal is subsequently processed to form a low frequency component signal and a high frequency component signal. The low frequency component signal is again decimated by a decimator (24). The decimated low frequency component signal and the high frequency component signal are each filtered by an adaptive fir filter (22, 26) to provide a first and a second frequency parameter and a first and a second gain factor, respectively. The first and second frequency parameters and the first and second gain factors are then tested by a tone identifier (28) to determine if the input signal includes a valid DTMF signal.
