A Handheld Active Millimeter Wave Camera
Abstract‚ A microwave imaging technology is described where large area diffraction limited images are created by a small, low cost, low power, handheld device. The camera actively illuminates targets with a circularly polarized scanning confocal spot beam. Backscattered radiation is collected to form an image on an LCD screen. The camera is configured to image behind walls and other flat surfaces. A set of encoded omni-wheels track camera position so that a 2500mm x 1700mm image may be stitched together. Operating in the 24GHz ISM band, the camera is approximately 6″ diameter and 8.5″ tall. At this size we believe it enables a broad range of new inspection tasks.

What Problems Are Hiding Behind Your Walls?
An Affordable, Portable Through-Wall Solution for the Consumer & Construction MarketsOverview
Most construction sites are fraught with problems that only become known after demolition has begun. This is because many problems are hiding behind walls and barriers that are not visible to the naked eye. For example, demolition work that damages existing utilities can be costly, while driving a drill bit into a live electrical line can be deadly.
Walleye Technologies‚ Scanning Millimeter Wave‚ (SMW) Imager is the first practical high resolution, through-wall imaging system that uses backscattered radiation to form images, just like the backscattered light from a camera flash. The live image on the display screen shows users exactly what and where plumbing, electrical lines and stud elements are located, so they can drill safely and open walls to make changes and repairs without damaging utilities, electrical wires, water pipes and the like.
