Do you know why this is a device not routinely seen on other radars?
Not sure, but there are alternate ways of calibrating phased arrays so other systems may use the other methods. Additionally, near-field scanning probes, if that's really what the pole is, is primarily used in the West for only factory calibration and not for field use. Perhaps the PLAN has tighter standards for accuracy so they carry their probe everywhere they go, who knows.
Or possible more easily degradable accuracy. I'm not sure why the PLAN would have tighter standards for accuracy than other navies. Not related to accuracy, but the USN for example imbeds multi-ton degaussing coils into the hulls of their Ticos and Burkes while PLAN uses a degaussing facility. I would argue that radar accuracy is more important than the faint magnetic signatures that a degaussed ship will regain during its deployment, so it seems unlikely to me that the USN would fail to maintain the highest standards, at least in this area.
Possibly.
An interesting point is that the 055 hasn't had the poles installed. Either she's getting them later in the outfitting process or the PLAN has deleted them from the 055 design.

I see a lot of duplicates in your posts. Could you, for the love of God, check to see if what you are about to post has been posted or discussed recently, or at the very least, within the past 24 hours? It doesn't take that much of an effort.
Please don't immediately share what you see without checking first, because that's what fanboys do.
