How does radar work during A-G mode

[Skrzatek]

Hey, I'm wondering how the F-16 radar uses its antenna in A-G mode. Antenna elevation doesn't affect the image (but antenna azimuth does), and the radar scans the entire area in front of the aircraft and directly below it simultaneously.

@skywalker22 Unfortunately, this video is not the answer to my question and provides too little explanation (more from an user point of view, not technical).

Funny enough this has been brought up before a few years ago:

So if I understand correctly, the only true word in F-16's "Air to Ground Radar" is "ground"?

From air to ground. It's also "Air to Air".
