Abstract of the Disclosure The process of the present invention detects SAT in a received signal. The frequency and amplitude characteristics of the received signal are used to determine if SAT is present.
If the autocorrelation values generate poles in the proper locations, SAT is present.

DI~ AUDIO ~EQUENCY TONE DETECTION :

S l~he pre~ t inventioD r~ilate~ gen~ly to ~he field of commu~ication~ and par~ arb to to~0 de~o~.

Landline t~lep~ony we~ ~uperi~lsion to de~ect changes in the ~v~tch-hool~ atate caused by t~lB telephoIle user. Mobile telephone supervi~ion abo per~on~ 1;hi~ proce~s but must ~so ensure that adequate RF ~ignal streDg~ and interference protection i8 maintai~ed. ThiB is accomplished by 1 h~
supervi~org audio tone (SAT), a conl;inuou~ out-of-band modulated signal.
T~ree SAT 8ig~1e, are u~ed D3 the UDited State~
cellular system, AMPS. These SAT ~ignal~ are at 5970 Hz, 6000 Hz, and 6030 Hz. Onlg one of the~e ~equen~es iB

The SAT operate~ by the bile unit recei~ring the SAT
from the base station and transponding it back to clo~e the loop. l~e base station 1001~B for the return of the ~pecific SAT it ~ent out. If another SAT i~ returned, the c~ll interpret6 thi6 a6 2 5 the call between the mobile and the cell being corrupted by interference.
When a mobile receives a aig~l from the ba~e ~tation, it detect~ whether SAT is pre~ent. Baset on this frequency, the mobile generates its own SAT ~d tran~mits it bac~ to the base 3 0 station. l~ method requires t~e mobile to perform a larg~
number of million in~truclion~ per ~econd (MIPS) in order to detect t~e received SAT and generate the t=itted SAT.
Consumers are demanding smaller cellulsr telephones for greater porhbility. To reduce 1 he l~ize of the telephone~, the 3 5 number of p~tB in t}le ~lephone must be reducet. Thi~ can be accomplished by performing many of the telephone'~

The derived gain i8 scaled in response to lhe gain of the ~nod~ator that modulate~ 1 he trulsmitted signal. This derived gain i~ filtered to produce a filtered gaiD signal. The transmitted signal is generated in response to the filtered gain 3 0 signal and ~e filtered ~ignal.

T'ne proo~ss begins by 1~e received ~ignal being demodulated (102). T'nis de~nodulation prOCeBI~ produces a ~al who~e rm8 value is affiected by both the rece~ed BigII~I
and the gun of the demodulator. Tni~ af~ec~ ia removet by multipl~g (103) the demodulated ~ignal by the value N. N is 2 0 chosen BO that for a known received sigDal, the signal at the input to the bandpa~s filter (104) is Icnown; i.e., N is adjusted for each radiotelepho~e to remo~e the effects of demodulator gain varianc~ f~om radiot~lephone to radiotelephone.
To illustrab this adjustment, one embodiment of the 2 5 pre~ent invention might ha~re a received Bignal with an appronmate 2.0 kHz deviation at a 6.0 kHz rate. The actual received ~ignal may be other than e~ y 2.0 kHz de~Tiation, but the trsnsmitted signal needs to be e~ y, or substantially close to a 2.0 k~z de~iatio~ independent of the esact received 3 0 signal deviation. The tran~ponded rece*ed signal, therefore, needs to have its gain adju~ted as the demodulated rece*et signal varies.
For a received signal with a 2.0 kHz devia~o~ at a 6.0 kHz rate, a demodulated signal, a(t) is producet. This 9ignal 3 5 i8 1hen sampled and ga~ adju~ted to produce a diacrete signal, s(n), with an rms v~lue D. ~(n) is then filtered by a '.'`"'`"', '", ,, ~

The radiotelephone's t~tbr al~o has a variance iiom radiot~lephone to radiote~ephone ~br effective tran~it deviation. To produoe a }nown de~atioll, the modulation level must be adjusted to compensate for t~i~ ~uiance. T'ni~ is done by adjusting the value of the constant L for ea~ individual radiotelephone .
The proeess of the present ill~ention performs SAT
modulation gain adjustment by u~g the E2 value to derive a gain adjus~ent for the output ~ignal pnor to its pas6age to - -; -~
the tran~itter. Tbis adjw~ent is performed by t}le proces~
ofthe present invention by sc~ling the signal, ~(n) to produce a 2 0 signal of amplitute G. An input sinusoidal signal of rm~
~alue G is required at the input of the t itter to produce a 2.0 kHz denated sigDal at the tran~itter output.
G is determined by the follo~ving equation~

Tn~ SAT detector (110) of the pr~t inv~on detern~ines the pre~ence of t~ ~T ~ignal by the amplitude and i~uenc~ ~eri~ics of the received Bignal. To aooompli~h thi~, ~e proce~s i~lustrated ~ ~IG. a iB u~ed.

The pole loca~ of the autocorrelation value~ are then 1 5 ge~lerated by ~putting the ~:oefficients into a quadratic equation. l~he f~equency of 1he receqved signal i~
