Not sure if CC is a valid link, but it looks like a PESA now.

Is the radar in the picture in the link a confirmed pesa? :0

Why would they do that

I dunno, it looks more aesa than pesa to me -- I think there are individual tr modules on it compared to pictures of other pesas which have the more slatted appearance, but hey that's just me.

Then again there have been no a aesas that were so yellow before, and all pesas I've seen were yellow...

It's called primer actually. We have seen plenty of pictures of J10s in primer before, but never one this unfinished out in the open. Whenever you seem planes where access panels are removed the plane is usually in a hanger or under a shelter at the very least.

You never saw any photos of a plane with access panels open outside a hanger?

Simply google "(fighter name) radar photos" and you will get a few of those.

I said removed, not opened. Its one thing to have access panels open outside, its quite another for a plane with access panels removed or not even installed to be placed outside.

That certainly looks like the array. Nice find, I guess it was too much to hope for some info to have came with that picture?

Theoretically, could someone engineer some type of ESA, where instead of using individual T/R modules like AESA nor a single transmitter like PESA, uses several transmitters each connected with a few dozen or a few hundred steering/scanning elements? Offers some flexibility and redundancy of an AESA at a cost closer to that of a PESA?
