Abstract
A method for leakage detection in an aeronautical band for a high split HFC network includes: providing a vehicle borne leak detector configured to perform substantially simultaneous upstream and downstream leakage detection; and while traversing a hub containing any quantity of high split nodes, performing a substantially simultaneous upstream leakage detection and a downstream leakage detection at about a same frequency. A system for leakage detection in an aeronautical band for a high split HFC network is also described.

A method for leakage detection in an aeronautical band for a high split HFC network comprising:
- providing a vehicle borne leak detector configured to perform substantially simultaneous upstream and downstream leakage detection at a common detection frequency while traversing a hub containing any quantity of high split nodes;
- while traversing a hub containing any quantity of high split nodes, performing a substantially simultaneous upstream leakage detection and a downstream leakage detection at the common detection frequency;
- and wherein the vehicle-borne leak detector comprises a first tuner and detector for upstream leakage, and a second tuner and detector for downstream leakage, the first and second tuners being configured to operate simultaneously at the common detection frequency.
