Abstract
A method of detecting a digital leakage signal originating from a leak in a coaxial cable portion of an HFC network. The network has a transmission end from which a digital signal is transmitted to the coaxial cable portion. The digital signal is emitted into free space from the leak to produce the leakage signal. The method comprises: (a) producing a first set of samples representing the digital signal; (b) transmitting the first set of samples to a leakage detector; (c) moving the leakage detector to a detection point in the vicinity of the network; (d) receiving the leakage signal from the leak; (e) sampling the leakage signal to produce a second set of samples; and (f) performing a cross-correlation of the first set of samples with the second set of samples, to produce a cross-correlation function having a peak, whereby the leakage signal is detected from the peak.
