The invention relates to the field of radio detection and especially relates to a leaky cable perimeter intrusion detection system. The system is mainly formed by three portions: a detection system main machine, a leaky cable module and a terminal module. The detection system main machine comprises a carrier wave signal generation module, a pseudo random coding generation module, an emission signal synthesis module, a signal emission module, a signal reception module, a signal processing module, an information processing module, an alarm module, a display module, a power supply module and a lightning-protection module. The leaky cable module is provided with an emission cable and a reception cable. The terminal module is provided with two matched resistors. One end of the emission cable and one end of the reception cable are connected with the detection system main machine, and the other ends are connected with the terminal module. The leaky cable perimeter intrusion detection system is relatively-high in anti-interference capability, strong in imperceptibility, high in positioning accuracy and low in alarm missing rate and mis-alarming rate; and no interference is generated between adjacent equipment.
