Abstract

A measuring device for determining the thickness of a non-homogeneous medium such as the thickness of a road structure. The device includes a radar transmitter and two spaced receivers. Information on the timing of the transmitted signal as well as the signals received by the two receivers is used to calculate the material thickness while eliminating signal drift.
