Abstract: A through-wall radar system includes a transceiver configured to receive and transmit multiple radar signals, each radar signal associated with a frequency that nominally passes through a barrier. The system includes a processor coupled to an electronic storage, the processor configured to sense a portion of a signal transmitted by the transceiver and analyze the sensed portion of the signal to determine a penetrability of a barrier. The system also includes an output configured to present a perceivable indicator related to the determined penetrability of the barrier.
