Many years ago I was actually thinking about a design for "an antenna camera"
to produce some rough imaging of RF frequencies. It would, of course, have to
be a huge array to get anything approaching a "picture" below the microwave
frequencies. It might be interesting to do this from a distance "looking" at
the downtown area of a major city, and merge the 124000000nm to 120000000nm
view with the 700nm to 400nm view to see all the wifi radiation spots.
