Anti stealth radar.

Though it doesn't have to be L band, most radars with that shape/size ratio of antenna ARE L band radars. If it, indeed, is a L band radar then it should, coupled with decent modern hardware and software supporting the antenna, be able to do a better job against low RCS targets than most other air surveillance radars.
Thanks lilzz..
No slight to China but it seems curious to me that since the F-22 is in full service we are seeing equipment that can defeat it. Including aircraft..curious. How do the test this radar when they don't have a 5th generation aircraft themselves??

Release a sparrow in the air. If they can detect it and lock from about 80km away it should work with F-22 as well.
Just increase sensitivity? It's not like they need the exact RCS of the F-22 or B-2; just being able to track and lock on to a small signature.Thanks lilzz..
