Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting leakage in a cable network system are disclosed. In at least some illustrative embodiments, a system may include a digital tagger operable to generate a digital tag including a chirp signal configured to be placed on a downstream signal path of the cable network system, and a cable network test instrument configured detect the digital tag in wireless signal data received from the cable network system when a point of ingress is presented in the cable network system. The network test instrument may be operable to provide a user-perceptible indication when the digital tag is detected to inform a technician or other user that a flaw in the cable network system is nearby.
