In any case, I'm interested to find out whether on the 055 this dual band radar is finally physically separated into 2 radars with the terminal illuminator moved into the X-band that most other navies use. I'm not totally convinced yet that one of the holes in the main mast of the 055 is going to be used for this alleged X-band AESA. After all, there is still plenty of hardware that still needs to be placed on the 055, including ECM, ESM and IFF, and if the goal is to semi-stealthify the 055, some or all of these might make it into the mast.

Well, one the holes in the main mast would have be a short wave length high search rate radar. X band seems the most likely if they want it to be multi-role. The horizon search function is currently handled by Type 364 on 052C and D.
