23 GHz is very high. I suspect it's a misprint as 2.4 GHz is
very common. 23 would travel very line of sight, and would
not penetrate very far beyond your skin (but might cause tingling
in the skin?)
Grounding is less important at higher frequencies in terms
of reflecting the signal. But grounding can be important for
safety, if the curtain gets pushed into an electrical plug or something.
It's possible for an ungrounded metal object to resonate, so
that's another reason, but to prevent that you need a low inductance
path to ground, so no long wires (use a strap about 8 times longer
than it is wide).
Fabrics and screens have to be very fine to get up to that
high frequency, but foils will work fine, often all the way up to
visible light.
