Abstract
A method comprises performing, by a first coherent radar system on a chip configured to operate in a terahertz range between 0.1 THz and 1 THZ, a first radar scan of a target, the first coherent radar system being in physical contact with a first non-physical scanning device. The first non-physical scanning device then receives first scanning data from the first radar scan, and sends a coordination signal to a second non-physical scanning device. A second coherent radar system on a chip configured to operate in the terahertz range performs a second radar scan of the target, the second coherent radar system being in physical contact with the second non-physical scanning device. The second non-physical device receives second scanning data from the second radar scan, and the first and second scanning data are sent to a processor for a determination as to whether an impermissible object has been detected.
