Stochastic Analysis of Touch-Tone Frequency Recognition in Two-Way Radio Systems for Dialed Telephone Number Identification

원문 초록

This paper focuses on recognizing dialed numbers in a touch-tone telephone system based on the Dual Tone MultiFrequency (DTMF) signaling technique with analysis of stochastic aspects during the noise and random duration of characters. Each dialed digit's acoustic profile is derived from a composite of two carrier frequencies, distinctly assigned to represent that digit. The identification of each digit is achieved by pinpointing the frequency pair with the highest energy or amplitude in its spectral output, utilizing the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT). This analysis includes simulations that illustrate the effects of introducing stochastic variations during the "Mark" and "Space" intervals of the decoding process, offering insights into the technique's efficacy and the impact of random temporal fluctuations. This will reduce the accuracy of decoder decoding and lower the SNR of the system.
