Study Notes
- Study notes on telephone circuits and signaling
Telephone Equalizer Circuit
- Regulates amplitude and frequency of voice signals.
- Composed of passive components like resistors and capacitors.
- Improves signal quality
Telephone Speaker
- Converts electrical signals into acoustical signals (sound).
Microphone
- The transmitter in a telephone converts sound into electrical signals.
Hybrid Network
- Converts a 2-wire circuit to a 4-wire circuit.
- Allows a part of the transmitted signal to be heard as a sidetone.
- Ensures transmitted and received signals do not interfere with each other.
Sidetone
- If there's too much sidetone, the user speaks too softly.
- If there's too little sidetone, the user speaks too loudly.
- When absent, a person may not be able to hear their own voice in a telephone conversation.
Dialing Circuit
- Allows a user to input digit signals when dialing.
Rotary Dialer
- Generates a sequence of pulses corresponding to the digits dialed.
- The number 0 corresponds to 10 pulse interruptions.
Touch-Tone Keypad
- Also known as DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency)
- The main advantage of DTMF dialing over pulse dialing is faster and more efficient dialing.
- Uses 4 row frequencies.
- Uses 4 column frequencies.
- 900 Hz is not a valid DTMF frequency.
Telephone Signaling
- Station signaling occurs between a telephone and a switching machine.
- Interoffice signaling occurs between switching machines.
Addressing Signals
- Responsible for routing calls.
- When an address signal is sent, the telephone exchange routes the call.
Alerting Signals
- Notify that a call is being made.
Supervising Signals
- Indicate the status of an ongoing call.
- Terminate a call.
MF (Multi-Frequency) Tones
- Uses six frequencies.
- Used between switching machines.
DTMF System Failure
- Potentially caused if the telephone exchange only supports rotary dialing.
