Reply to comment by Jon_Beveryman in How do plane radars see through the nose of the plane? by scrublord123456

So if we could see in the frequencies that radar sees, we would see the radome as a transparent bubble? Neat!

Well yes, and many other things like most interior walls and basically all relatively thin non-metallic and non-watery things which let your cellular or wifi signal pass through just fine with just some attenuation. Resolution’s limited by wavelength though, the “pixels” of microwave vision are on the order of 1..10 cm or so at best. And you’d need big “eyes”.
