A ground-wave technique is introduced in this letter to directly extract the pavement permittivity and thickness from measured data of ground-coupled ground-penetrating radar (GPR). Analytic solution, numerical simulation, and experimental test are carried out to validate the method. This technique enables bistatic radar to obtain both thickness and permittivity by just one measurement, which effectively reduces measurement and computation time for GPR applications.
