2.3.1 Introduction:
means DUAL TONE MULTIPLE FREQUENCY .This technology is widely used and has DTMF
many applications. One of the application is discussed that is mobile controlled robotic car
using DTMF technology . Being able to achieve reliable communication is an important open
area of research to robotics as well as other technology areas. As interest in robotics
continues to grow, robots are increasingly being integrated in everyday life. The results of
this integration are end-users possessing less and less technical knowledge of the
technology. Currently, the primary mode for robot communication uses RF (radio
frequency). RF is an obvious choice for communication since it allows more. Information to
be transferred at smaller distance. The overall goal of the project is to control robot over a
long distance using DTMF technology efficiently.
Description
The transmitter side is placed in the area which is to be supervised. The receiver section is
placed in the operator side which receives the video from the corresponding area.
DTMF Tone
The DTMF keypad is arranged such that each row will have its own unique tone frequency
and also each column will have its own unique tone frequency. Above is a representation of
the typical DTMF keypad and the associated row/column frequencies. By pressing a key, for
example 5, will generate a dual tone consisting of 770 Hz for the low group and 1336 Hz for
the high group.
DTMF Decoder
The MT-8870 is a DTMF Receiver that integrates both band split filter and decoder functions
into a single 18-pin DIP or SOIC package. It is manufactured using CMOS process technology.
The MT-8870 offers low power consumption (35 mW max) and precise data
handling.
Its filter section uses switched capacitor technology for both the high and low group filters
and for dial tone rejection. Its decoder uses digital counting techniques to detect and
decode all 16 DTMF tone pairs into a 4-bit code. External component count is minimized by
provision of an on-chip differential input amplifier, clock generator, and latched tri-state
interface bus. Minimal external components required includes a low-cost 3.579545 MHz
color burst crystal, a timing resistor, and a timing capacitor.
The filter section is used for separation of the low-group and high group tones and it is
achieved by applying the DTMF signal to the inputs of two sixth order switched capacitor
band pass filters, the bandwidths of which corresponds to the low and high group
frequencies. The filter section also incorporates notches at 350 and 440 Hz for exceptional
dial tone rejection. Each filter output is followed by a single order switched capacitor filter
section which smoothes the signals prior to limiting. Limiting is performed by high-gain
comparators which are provided with hysteresis to prevent detection of unwanted low-level
signals. The outputs of the comparators provide full rail logic swings at the frequencies of
the incoming DTMF signals. Following the filter section is a decoder employing digital
counting techniques to determine the frequencies of the incoming tones and to verify that
they correspond to the standard DTMF frequencies.
