Wi-Fi Signal Reflection (KrakenSDR)

Active Rust Python

Concept

Through-wall human detection and localization using existing Wi-Fi signals as illumination sources. Built on the KrakenSDR five-channel coherent receiver, processing Heimdall DAQ IQ streams to detect movement through obstacles in indoor environments. Bridges theoretical signal reflection research with a portable, real-time hardware implementation.

Core Value

Signal reflection system that utilizes existing Wi-Fi signals for through-wall human detection and localization, leveraging the KrakenSDR coherent radio array.

Vision

To bridge the gap between theoretical signal reflection research and a portable, real-time hardware implementation capable of “seeing” movement through obstacles using ubiquitous Wi-Fi signals.

Constraints

Hardware: KrakenSDR (5-channel coherent receiver).
Software: Python-based processing pipeline.
Input: Heimdall DAQ IQ data streams.
Environment: Indoor/Through-wall (high clutter).
