In this paper, a new method for the investigation of the degradation of ballast railway track beds is proposed. An array of antennas is used for simultaneous acquisition of reflected radar impulses, which have been transmitted from different sending positions. This array setup allows an automated CMP-measurement, which enables a direct calibration of the ballast thickness. These multiple offset measurements using the array setup are well suited for fast railway inspections. The method offers the possibility to visualize the state of degradation of the ballast in a velocity spectrum.
