    DTMF IC identification and pinout

    Hello:) I'm working on this old touch-tone telephone (Statesman 9040R - see picture). I'm essentially building a new circuit from scratch - it won't be connected to the phone lines but will instead be an arduino based interactive playback circuit. I would still like to understand how the old...

    Looking for DTMF generator dedicated IC

    Hi all, I'm currently reworking an old touch-tone telephone, which involves redesigning the circuit to avoid the whole telephone line high voltage AC circuitry etc. In my first prototype I got on fine using an IK semiconductor 91214b IC to do DTMF generation, with the keypad keys connected as...

    SIM7600, ESP32 WROVER-E,LILYGO TTGO,ESP IDF, UART - SIM7600 JUST ECHOING WHAT I SENT IT

    I decided I would try my hand at programming an ESP32 using CLion instead of the Arduino IDE, so this project is running in the ESP IDF (toolchain?) and C language. I couldn't find the file for setting the settings, so all pins and settings are default - it would fill out the whole post if I...

    Suggestions on choice of antenna in direction finding system using BLE

    Hello! I am currently doing a school project where we are going to design a direction finding system using antennas and an automated robot arm to adjust to angle. From what we have read the most reasonable choice of antenna is either a yagi or parabolic antenna. The robor arm is fairly small...

    MATLAB Soft-output decoder

    Hello! I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am stuck already a couple of days. I have implemented a soft Hamming decoder (LLRs) in MATLAB and now I have to create a soft-output for this decoder. My attempts all failed, since the soft-outputs do not match the hard-bits. The...

    why does 1/4 wavelength have a ground plane and 1/2 wavelength needs no?

    why does 1/4 wavelength have to have a ground plane and 1/2 doesn't? I know that an antenna that has half a wavelength does not need the ground plane (example a dipole antenna) and when using a wavelength of 1/4 it is usually necessary to have the ground plane (planar antennas [PCB]). My...
