1. A ground-penetrating radar device comprising
a frame,
a radar antenna,
an antenna assembly, wherein the radar antenna is part of the antenna assembly, and
a mount for adaptively mounting the antenna assembly to the frame,
a ground support for supporting the frame on a ground,
wherein in an operational state,
the mount prevents a horizontal displacement of the antenna assembly relative to the frame in two horizontal directions, and
the mount allows a vertical displacement of the antenna assembly relative to the frame and a tilting of the antenna assembly relative to the frame.
