Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has become an effective tool for asphalt pavement inspection. However, a ground-coupled GPR system cannot facilitate a high-speed survey due to the complex road environment and traffic condition. In this paper, an air-coupled antenna array is designed for measurement of common midpoint (CMP) GPR data. From the CMP data, an improved velocity spectrum algorithm considering the refraction on the pavement surface is proposed to simultaneously estimate the thickness and dielectric permittivity of the pavement layer. The results of a laboratory experiment demonstrate that the improved velocity spectrum method can greatly enhance the accuracy of the velocity and thickness estimations, compared with the traditional inversion method. A field measurement conducted on a highway pavement shows that the maximum error of the thickness estimation of the asphalt layer is less than 10 mm (7.1%). It is concluded that the developed CMP technique can be used for quantitative characterization of asphalt pavement. •An air-coupled antenna array is designed for measurement of CMP GPR data.•An improved velocity spectrum algorithm considering the refraction is proposed.•The thickness and dielectric permittivity can be estimated with a high accuracy.•The thickness estimation error on a highway pavement is less than 10 mm (7.1%).
