ABSTRACT:
A multi-tone sequential call signal detector in which a microcomputer is used to detect the tones of a received signal by simulating digitally the response of analogue tuned circuits. The detector includes a limiter for producing a square wave signal from a tone signal, a differentiator for producing interrupt pulses, and a microcomputer which responds to the interrupt pulses to activate a visual display and a call lamp of an output circuit when it detects all the received tones of the signal. The microcomputer performs an algorithm by which it measures the period between successive interrupt pulses, determines which tone frequency has this period, starts a number count which represents the "rise" response of a tuned circuit for that tone frequency, and determines when the number count reaches a threshold number which represents the resonant condition of the tuned circuit.
