  • Patent number: 6151514
    Abstract: A system for normalizing a Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency ("DTMF") tone is provided for use in a digital wireless telecommunications system. The normalization system has an electronic memory with normalization parameter variable that stores a redefinable value. A programmable DTMF tone generator circuit is coupled to the electronic memory. The tone generator circuit has an input terminal for receiving a DTMF message packet. A program, executable on the DTMF tone generator, normalizes the DTMF message packet by substituting the redefinable value of the parameter variable in the DTMF message packet such that a normalized DTMF tone is transmitted through an output terminal of the DTMF tone generator circuit.
