1 INTRODUCTION
From the purpose of the proposed system, it is
In recent years, there is a widespread use of obvious that we need a transmitter phone (fixed
telephone signals of fixed phone, mobile phone or mobile), a receiver phone (fixed or mobile),
and wireless devices for remote controlling DTMF decoder and Logic Controller, which
applications such as house and property security could be a microcontroller and a motor drive
surveillance system, theft control and monitoring circuit used for switching the motor pumps.

3 DTMF SIGNAL AND DECODER From (1), the DTMF tone signal is the sum of
two sinusoid frequencies. For the experimental
Each digit of the telephone keypad is represented work, we designed an op-amp adder circuit that
