ABSTRACT A method for detecting the presence of a predetermined dual tone signal on a conductor including steps of performing threshold detection on the conductor for detecting the presence of signals having an amplitude greater than a predetermined threshold signal, and in the event of detection of a signal having substantial amplitude, detecting the periods of a predetermined number of successive cycles of the signal, and in the event the successive detected periods are different, detecting an average value of the periods. In the event the average period corresponds to a frequency equivalent to the average frequency of the predetermined dual tone signal, an output signal is generated indicative of the presence of the dual tone signal. This method can advantageously be used for detection of dial tone on a telephone conductor. A method is straightforward and can be easily implemented by a microprocessor program in conjunction with simple threshold detection circuitry.
