CHAPTER- 1

Introduction
1.1) Aim:
To design Dual Tone Multi Frequency signal transmitter and receiver which are
capable of sending sequence of numbers at regular intervals in DTMF format to switch
ON various devices.

1.2) General Description of Entire System:

System consists of one master DTMF code transmitter and one master DTMF
code receiver. DTMF transmitter includes keypad, DTMF signal generator, and mixer
circuit for modulation, amplifier and a transmission antenna. DTMF receiver includes
Receiver antenna, mixer circuit for demodulation, DTMF decoder, and Digital logic to
switch on the devices. Advantage is that many devices can be interfaced to one DTMF
receiver. When the corresponding DTMF code for a particular device is received by the
receiver then that device only responds accordingly.
Transmission and Reception of DTMF code will be on the frequency range used
in RCIED’s (4 MHz – 12 MHz).

1.3.1) Transmitter Circuit:
When the key is pressed in the keypad, DTMF signal generator produces DTMF
signal corresponding to that key. DTMF signal is FM modulated and we set center
frequency ranges from 4MHz – 12MHz. This signal is fed to amplifier and transmitted
through antenna as shown in fig 1.1.

1.3.2) Receiver Circuit:

The working principle of receiver circuit is shown in the fig.1.2. Receiver antenna
receives signal, which passes through filters and gets demodulated to give the original
DTMF signal. This signal is given to DTMF signal decoder and decoded output is passed
through logic, to operate appropriate devices.

1.4) Block Diagram of System Implemented:

For the purpose of demonstration, part of the system is implemented. The system
implemented has wired transmission of DTMF signal between Transmitter and Receiver
as shown in fig 1.3. Controller is used in the transmitter side, instead of keypad for the
generation of sequence of numbers at regular intervals. Controller used in the receiver
side switches ON devices against the device code received. Displays are interfaced to
check the transmitted code.

DTMF Transmitter

2.1) Introduction:
This Chapter deals with basics of DTMF signal, frequency bands of each key,
keypad interfaced circuit to explain the working principle of DTMF signal generator IC
MV5089. In order to demonstrate the system, PIC is interfaced with MV5089 to generate
the sequence of codes. This chapter also explains the logic implemented in PIC through
flow chart. For the convenient of demonstration 7 segment LED is interfaced with the
transmitter circuit. Finally, explains the entire transmitter side operation with circuit
diagram.
2.2) General Description:
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) generation is a composite audio signal of two
tones between the frequency of 697Hz and 1633Hz. The DTMF keypad is arranged such
that each row will have its own unique tone frequency (ranging from 697 Hz – 941 Hz)
and each column will have its own unique tone (ranging from 1209 Hz – 1633Hz).
Representation of the typical DTMF keypad and their associated row/column frequencies
are shown in fig 2.1.

Fig 2.1 Organization of Keypad

Frequency Band Selection for the Low Tone Group and for the High Tone Group is given
in Fig 2.2.

Fig 2.2 LOW tone and HIGH tone Bands

Tone Groups are selected such that both High Tone and Low Tone should not
overlap with each other at the same time each frequency band of one tone group should
not overlap with each other to avoid the deterioration of valuable signal. In addition, it
made easy to design Band pass filters on the receiver side.

2.3) DTMF Signal Generation Using MV5089:

In order to generate DTMF signal, DTMF signal generator IC MV 5089 is used. It

has got 4 column pins and 4 row pins. All the 8 pins are internally pulled high and will
accept the low level signal. A keypad can be interfaced with MV5089 as shown in the fig
2.3. Whenever a particular key is pressed corresponding row and column pins will be
connected to ground. Once the column and rows pins are connected to ground, then the
corresponding HIGH tone and LOW tone will be generated. For example, if the number
‘1’ is pressed in the keypad, the tones 1209Hz and 697Hz will be generated. MV5089
will give DTMF signal at TONE output by combining High Tone and Low Tone.

 Fig 2.3 Interface of Keypad with MV5089
2.4) Interfacing PIC with MV5089:
Main idea is to Pre- activate the RCIED’s; there many sequences of number
should be generated for various IF Bands. In that context, generating sequence of
numbers through key pad is impossible; to achieve that PIC 16F870 Controller is
interfaced with the DTMF signal generator as shown in fig 2.4.

In this project, to demonstrate the operation of the entire system, three devices are
activated by generating the DTMF signal. Each Device will have unique device code
which of three digits. (Device 1 = 567, Device 2 = 653 Device3 = 521). Of the three
digits of device code, digits are sent one after another. And finally devices will be
activated one by one.

Main purpose of Controller is to store all the devices code, separate them into
single digit and send them one by one to DTMF signal generator. Finally each digit is
sent to receiver in the form of DTMF signal. For example to activate the DEVICE 1,
Device Code for that is taken 567 and separated into 5, 6, 7 and stored in separate
variables. Send 5 first, followed by 6 and 7.

2.5) Logic Implemented in PIC 16F870

2.5.1) Algorithm:

1) Take one Device code

2) Separate the device code into single digits
3) Store the three single digits in separate variables
4) Send the digits one by one
5) According to the digit, send LOW signals to corresponding Column and Row

2.6) Display Interfacing:
For the convenient of demonstration, a 7 segment display is interfaced with PIC
through the driver IC 4511. So, whatever number sent to DTMF signal generator, will
also be sent to 7 Segment display. Complete block diagram of Transmitter side is shown
in fig 2.5.

2.7) Working of Transmitter Circuit:

Entire transmitter circuit diagram is shown in the fig.2.6. PIC is interfaced to
MV5089 through PORTB. PORT C of PIC is interfaced with the 7 segment LED driver.
LSBs (RB0-RB4) are used for ROW pins and MSBs (RB4-RB7) are used for COLUMN
pins. PORTB always output FFh, that is, HIGH to all pins, so no number will be
generated. In order to send a particular number, corresponding column and row pins are
made LOW. Once the column and rows pins are made LOW, DTMF generator will send
the corresponding DTMF signal to receiver. At the same time, same number is sent to
LED driver through PORTC of PIC, to display in 7 segment LED. In this way, sequence
of numbers are generated and displayed in 7 segment LED simultaneously.

DTMF Receiver
3.1) Introduction:
This chapter deals with basic concept of DTMF signal decoding, introduce the IC
CM8870 used for the decoding, design of receiver circuit to detect valid DTMF signal,
the way how PIC is interfaced between decoder and the devices to be switched ON, the
logic implemented in PIC through flow chart and finally working of entire receiver
circuit.
3.2) General Description:
On the receiver side, first Low tone and High tone is separated using band-spilt
filter into two discrete signals as shown in fig 3.1.

High Group Filters Digital Filters

I/P DTMF Signal

Low Group Filters Digital Filters

Fig 3.1. Separation High & Low tone

Then the separated signals are given to the corresponding decoding logic and
depending upon the HIGH tone and LOW tone received digital output will be produced
as shown in fig 3.2.

 Fig 3.2 Interface of Keypad with MV5089

3.3) DTMF Signal Receiver Using CM8870:

In order to decode the DTMF signal, DTMF signal receiver CM8870 is

used. Block diagram is shown in fig 3.3 It is having Input operational amplifier
with an option for gain select. This is used in inverting configuration with unity
gain. Min voltage of DTMF signal that can be detected should be not less than
1.5V. If there is any Transmission loss in the signal, then gain of receiver can be
selected accordingly.

Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 are the decoded output. The signal StD (delayed steering)
gives high signal when the decoded out put is latched

12
 Fig 3.3 Block diagram of CM8870

3.4) DTMF Signal Receiver Design:

Receiver should be designed properly to detect the valid DTMF signal. Timing
Diagram is given fig 3.4 for CM8870 IC.
ESt -> Early Steering Output. Indicates detection of valid tone Frequencies.

St/GT -> Steering INPUT/GUARD TIME OUTPUT. Drives External RC Timing Circuit

StD -> Delayed steering output. Presents logic high when a received tone pair has been
registered and the output latch is updated. Returns to logic low when the voltage on
St/GT falls below VTSt.

13
 Fig 3.4. Timing diagram of CM8870

T REC = Minimum time required to detect the valid DTMF signal

Typical value is 40ms

T REC = tDP + tGTP:

tDP = Minimum Time required by the IC to detect the Signal

tDP = 14 ms
tGTP = Minimum time required to start conversion after tDP

tGTP = this can be designed by RC circuit such that sum of tGTP & tDP should be
greater than 40ms

here tGTP is designed for 30ms R = 300K C = .1µF

Input op-amp is designed for unity gain by two 100K ohm resistors.
Designed circuit is shown in fig 3.5 and component values are given below the
figure

R3 = 300 K ohm
R1 = 100K ohm
R2 = 100K ohm

3.5) Interfacing PIC with Receiver IC:

From the Transmitter, it is going to get three digit codes for three devices.
The purpose of the PIC is to get the sequences of single digit of codes, combine
the single digit code to three digit code of the device. The unique three digit code
for the devices, also stored in the receiver side. If the receiver PIC gets the same
three digit code it will switch ON the device corresponding to that code. The
signal StD of CM8870 is connected to the interrupt pin of the PIC 870

15
 3.5.1) Algorithm:

1) On Interrupt, get the decoded code

2) On receiving three codes, combine it to form single three digit code
3) The final three digit code is compared with the pre defined Device
Code stored in PIC
4) If the Code matches switch ON the corresponding device.

3.6) Working of Receiver Circuit:
Complete Receiver circuit diagram is show in the fig 3.6. PORTB of PIC (RB4 -
RB7) is interfaced with CM 8870 to get the decoded output. StD pin of CM8870 is
connected to interrupt to indicate the end of decoding. PORT C is used to switch ON the
devices. PORT A is used to interface the display. When the DTMF receiver receives the
DTMF signal for valid duration, it decodes and gives output at Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 and
interrupt is given to PIC. Once the PIC is interrupted, it will get the code on MSBs of
PORTB and sends the same number to LED display. As soon as PIC gets the entire code
it will switch on the corresponding device through PORTC.

Results and Discussion

4.1) Transmitter:

1) DTMF signals are generated by interfacing PIC with MV5089

DTMF signal for the number 5 and 1 are shown in fig 4.1 and fig 4.2

Fig 4.1 DTMF Signal for Number 5

Fig 4.2 DTMF Signal for Number 1

2) Output of 7 – segment LED is also cross checked with the DTMF signal using
CRO

19
 3) Device Code for Device 1 = 567
Device Code for Device 2 = 653
Device Code for Device 3 = 521
PIC controller on the transmitter side is programmed in such a way that it will
send device code of Device 1 first, followed by Device 2 and Device 3. These codes are
verified by the display interfaced with the transmitter.
After sending the complete set of codes, transmitter will stop sending signals
but for the purpose of demonstration, transmitter will again start to send the signal from
the beginning.

4.2) Receiver:

1) On the receiver side, received DTMF signal is decoded and corresponding

digital code is sent to PIC and decoded code is displayed in 7 – segment LED.
This display is cross checked with transmitter display.
2) PIC Interfaced to get digital code of receiver circuit on interrupt. PIC will
accumulate the codes until it receives three numbers. Once if it receives three
numbers, it will form a device code and check received device code with the
pre defined device code. If it matches with any one of the device code, PIC
will switch ON the device corresponding to that code through PORT C. This
is demonstrated by keeping LEDs in the place of devices.

4.3) Work To Be Done:

In this project, DTMF signal generation and DTMF signal decoding is completed.
Here, DTMF signal transmission and reception is done through wire. In next semester,
DTMF signal transmission and reception will be made wireless and transmitted by having
the center frequencies ranges from 4MHz to 12MHz. Experimental analysis will be done
at different distances for different input power. Final system will be capable of switching
on the remotely located devices
