ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

All praise to Almighty Allah, who bestowed upon us minute portion

of His knowledge to us by virtue of which we have accomplished this task.
His benevolence and blessings have made us capable of working on this
project. Working on this project was a very hard task but we are grateful to
him for always being with us and helping.

INTRODUCTION
Dual-tone multi-frequency signaling (DTMF) is used for
telecommunication signaling over analog telephone lines in the voice-
frequency band between telephone handsets and other communications
devices and the switching center. The version of DTMF that is used in push-
button telephones for tone dialing is known as Touch-Tone.

or Touch-Tone became the industry standard for both cell phones and
landline service.

Prior to the development of DTMF, automated telephone systems

employed pulse dialing (Dial Pulse or DP in the U.S.) or loop disconnect (LD)
signaling to dial numbers. It functions by rapidly disconnecting and re-
connecting the calling party's telephone line, similar to flicking a light
switch on and off. The repeated interruptions of the line, as the dial spins,
sounds like a series of clicks. The exchange equipment interprets these dial
pulses to determine the dialed number. Loop disconnect range was
restricted by telegraphic distortion and other technical problems, and
placing calls over longer distances required either operator assistance
(operators used an earlier kind of multi-frequency dial) or the provision of
subscriber trunk dialing equipment.

GENERATED FREQUENCY:-

1209 Hz on 697 Hz to make the 1 tone

The DTMF keypad is laid out in a 4×4 matrix, with each row
representing a low frequency, and each column representing a high
frequency. Pressing a single key (such as '1' ) will send a sinusoidal tone for
each of the two frequencies (697 and 1209 hertz (Hz)). The original
keypads had levers inside, so each button activated two contacts. The
multiple tones are the reason for calling the system multifrequency. These
tones are then decoded by the switching center to determine which key
was pressed.

Applications:-
The DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) application is associated
with digital telephony, and provides two selected output frequencies (one
high band, one low band) for a duration of 100 ms. A benchmark
subroutine has been written for the COP820C/840C microcontrollers

The sample is an application that is driven entirely by key presses

sending dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) input. The application provides
information on the rates for three service packages for each of three types
of services. The application first prompts the user to select one of three
types of service.

CONCLUSION
We were exposed to high levels of difficulty while we were exposed to various technical skills.
It was a very good learning experience and at times we had to work with GUI and concepts
which were very new to us.

We would like to recommend the usage of incubator in diverse fields and should be setup at
the university premises so that we are facilitated more easily.

In this tutorial we will learn how to use GUI and MATLAB SIMULINK.
