  • Patent number: 5222129
    Abstract: Detector for telephone charging signalling in the form of periodic pulses derived from alternating current signals at specific frequencies transmitted in analog form by means of a line (2) comprising two wires (A, B), for example to a central office line interface circuit of a private telephone installation connected to an analog network subscriber line. The detector comprises an input filter (4) centered on the frequency (Ft) of the expected signalling, a sample and hold circuit (6) connected to the output of the input filter (4) and to the output of a clock (7) supplying a signal (HE) whose frequency (FE) is close to the value (Ft), a lowpass filter (8) within the band of which the characteristic signal from the sample and hold circuit is included, and a level detector (9) adapted to supply a presence signal for a characteristic signal at a level above a predetermined threshold at the output of the lowpass filter (8).
