This document summarizes an article about implementing a modified Goertzel algorithm for dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signal detection using a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The modified Goertzel algorithm is more efficient than the normal Goertzel algorithm in terms of hardware resource usage. The algorithm is tested using Simulink and implemented on an Altera FPGA development board. Simulation results show the modified Goertzel algorithm achieves real-time DTMF detection that complies with international standards for tone detection.
