GSM Audio Codec & DTMF. Why the Half Rate Codec could force trouble?

The DTMF signal is generated by a separated source, typically a landline (corded) phone, and sent to the input lines of the module (Uplink path). The frequencies couples, sent on the voice channel , are digitised, encoded and sent by the digital transmission system. In the receiving device the signal would be reconstructed, but since […]
