Abstract
A method and apparatus for locating the source of noise ingress into a CATV system return path by coupling a filter having a passband in the noise frequency bandwidth to the nodes between adjacent return path amplifiers. The filter is sequentially coupled to the nodes, working away from the CATV system headend. A signal level meter or the like monitors the effect on the noise of coupling the filter to the nodes. When a node is reached at which coupling of the filter to the node no longer has any effect on the signal level in the node, the source of the noise is isolated in the node immediately preceding the node under test.
