Abstract

See full text

The invention involves using Doppler shift to locate a leak of a signal from an HFC network. The leaked signal includes a component having a nominal frequency. The invention comprises: (a) moving along a drive route in the area of the network; (b) recording a speed at a number of drive-route points along the drive route; (c) at each point, receiving the component at a received frequency; (d) for each point, measuring the received frequency; (e) for each point, determining a measured Doppler shift from a difference between the received and nominal frequencies; (f) estimating a zero Doppler shift and a zero Doppler shift point based on the measured Doppler shifts; and (g) estimating the leak location based on the estimated zero Doppler shift point.
