JF-17 Block 3: KLJ-7A, over 1000 GaN T/R modules
Rafale: RBE2-AA 838 GaAs T/R modules
Number of T/R modules: JF-17 Block 3 > Rafale
Spec of each T/R module (power output vs temperature): JF-17 Block 3 > Rafale
It's not always about the TR modules that Matter in the performance of a radar in BVR engagement
It's about maintaing the lock in an electronically dense environment
Activitly countering radar jamming all the while trying to avoid getting locked on
Rafael has an excellent EW suite in the shape of Thales Spectra
That being said the real performance of the these 2 aircraft/radar can only be judged if they go head to head in a real BVR engagement
Until then all we have is a bunch of info on paper
