5.8GHz Microwave Radar Module SKU:SEN0521 can detect trougth plastics? 100mm methacrylate for ex.

Hi, we would like to hide the sensor behind a metacrilate floor of about 100mm, made it point upwards and be able to detect when someone stands above the sensor. Should it work for this application? Thanlks

Theoretically 5.8GHz millimetre waves can penetrate thin plastic.
In fact, the penetration should be about the same as the 5GHz of your home WiFi.
But I'd still recommend you get a SEN0521 for testing.
