I've been using the FCC site to check out the internals of the current launch monitors and see that they are all using 24 GHz radar sensors, the cheaper ones with simpler arrays.
I started wandering whether it would be natural for launch monitors to start using 60 GHz radar sensors in the near future. The electronics are simpler due to more integrated chips, the antennas are proportionally smaller and the resolution is much better due to shorter wave lenghts. So it would seem obvious that you could create a very accurate radar for at least short distance analysis, especially for indoor use.
Is there a reason why the 60 GHz high resolution radars would not be usable in a golf lauch monitor?
