Radar Array Sees Through Walls
MIT’s Lincoln Lab researchers have built a system that can see through walls from some distance away, giving an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side. The researchers’ device is an array of antenna arranged into two rows — eight receiving elements on top, 13 transmitting below — and some computing equipment, all mounted onto a movable cart. But it has powerful … [Read more...]
