I always thought it would be sweet to have a whole house camera to see inside your walls. Knowing where all your pipes are, knowing where voids are, maybe detecting leaks inside your walls, animal/rodent detection, etc. Antenna arrays in GHz bands should be able to have pretty good resolution on metallic reflectors. I guess add intruder detection too. If our privacy is being violated outside our homes, I'd at least like to leverage for some good inside my home.
This bounces off of walls, for the most part, so it will do the exact opposite of what you want. It will show you everything inside the house, not everything inside the walls.
I don't think so. Drywall is fairly transparent to GHz, but I guess depends on if your home is made of sticks or something sturdier. People reflect better, which AFAIK is what this technology is highlighting.
Yeah I was thinking the higher the frequency the less penetration. GHz definite isn't penetrating through walls too good.
