"With conventional optical cameras, it's not possible to take pictures through an obstruction such as plywood. But by using millimeter waves instead of light, it is possible, because millimeter waves pass through plywood. In this demo, we actually have a piece of plywood as an obstruction, and we're filming the motion of a mannequin on the other side." http://www.diginfo.tv/
