Abstract
An apparatus for detecting leakage of a pipe by using a distance difference-frequency analysis includes: vibration detecting sensors, which are mounted at a predetermined distance in a longitudinal direction of a pipe and are configured to measure vibration signals of the pipe; and a control unit, which is configured to calculate a cross-correlation function by using the vibration signals, to reveal time delay information in the frequency domain by calculating time-delay frequency analysis diagram for the cross-correlation function, to calculate a distance difference-frequency analysis diagram by applying compensation conversion using frequency-dependent propagation speed information to the time-delay frequency analysis diagram, and to detect a leakage component of the pipe in the distance difference-frequency analysis diagram.
