Supervisory tone detection

What does it do?

The supervisory tone detector may be configured to detect most of the world's telephone supervisory tones - things like ringback, busy, number unobtainable, and so on.

The detector aims to meet the need of the standard call progress tones, to ITU-T E.180/Q.35 (busy, dial, ringback, reorder). Also, the extended tones, to ITU-T E.180, Supplement 2 and EIA/TIA-464-A (recall dial tone, special ringback tone, intercept tone, call waiting tone, busy verification tone, executive override tone, confirmation tone).

How does it work?

The input signal is complex filtered with a bandpass filter that removes DC and anything above about 800Hz, and the resulting complex signal is decimated by a factor of 10. This leaves an alias free band of 0 to 800Hz.

A set of periodgrams are calculated, one for each of the frequencies of interest. A Hamming window is applied to the coefficients used for this, to clean up the spectral response. The expected phasor rotation between successive periodogram results is compared with the actual rotation, to evaluate the deviation of the signal from the expected frequency. ??????????

How does it work?

The supervisory tone detector is passed a series of data structures describing the tone patterns - the frequencies and cadencing - of the tones to be searched for. It constructs one or more Goertzel filters to monitor the required tones. If tones are close in frequency a single Goertzel set to the centre of the frequency range will be used. This optimises the efficiency of the detector. The Goertzel filters are applied without applying any special window functional (i.e. they use a rectangular window), so they have a sinc like response. However, for most tone patterns their rejection qualities are adequate.
