One of my not so great ideas was to devise a contraption that would
let me "see" RF. It certainly would make troubleshooting RF devices
much easier. Essentially, it would be a human eye analog implimented
with RF components. According to theory, if it works for light, it
should also work for RF. At the time, I was working at about 1GHz.
Light is about 400 THz. So, all I need is an eyeball that's 400,000
times larger than the human eye. I'll give myself a -1 for the idea.

As usual others had the same idea .Look here :

Nope. The AT&T wave demo is a mechanical analogy of wave phenomenon.
That's not what I'm looking for. What I want is the ability to look
at a radio, power amp, amplifier, etc and actually see the RF leaking
from the circuit, or just standing there in the form of standing
waves. Like light, I would not expect to see conducted RF, only
radiated RF. However, I think there will be enough of both to make
the effort worthwhile.

Incidentally, if you're into surfing the waves, this should keep you
entertained for days:

(Note: Seems to work better when on controlled substances).
