Abstract
Embodiments provided describe detections of RF leakage test signal emanating from cable plant. In one embodiment a single mobile receive antenna, connected to a complex demodulator mobile receiver, receives a stabilized test signal radiating from the cable plant. The test signal may be a known continuous wave (CW) carrier or other deterministic signal. The received test signal varies in phase as a function of a position of the mobile receive antenna relative to the location of a leakage antenna. The phase variance forms a Doppler shift as the test antenna moves relative to the leakage antenna. The receiver generates multiple in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) test signal samples over a SPA (synthetic phased array) distance as the test antenna's travels, and the samples are inserted into a Fourier transform. The result of the transform is instantaneous Doppler frequency shift, from which a bearing angle can be computed.
