m-Widar (microwave image detection, analysis and ranging) (VIDEO)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

Caption

This demonstration of the m-Widar (micro-Wave image detection, analysis and ranging) system shows, in the video on the left, a person walking and later crouching and lying down in an anechoic chamber. The transmitters and receiver are in a vertical line on the right side of the chamber. The second video on the right shows the instrument's view of the same scene. About 21 seconds into the video, a wallboard is inserted between the person and the instrument in the anechoic chamber, to show that m-Widar can "see" through walls.
