old article on MMR on LSP-3 ..The MMR is based on 2032 and developed in co operation with ELTA of israel and ADA, LRDE, HAL ,ECIL with origins on Israeli LAVI project but does not say it's range or Power out put.

it was for the much more demanding air to ground mode to see though the ground clutter ELTA's back end processor was sought.
As far as B'harry's article on tejas is concerned they are factual reports with close sources from the program and he is covering tejas from a decade before,
What is finally on tejas mk-1 will be known only after FOC, since 80 plus range is given by DG himself , it is quite possible for it to have 120 Km tracking range for 2 sq meter target as reported. if there are any performance downfalls we will know later in FOC.
Most air to air missile launches are done well within the 80 Km range as BVR missiles targeted at their extreme ranges often lose most of the kinematic energy by the time they reach the target and dodgable.
unfortunately he died young while pursuing his higher studies in US.

There is a separate thread in BR dedicated to his memory.

The above is the only link that says the following things about radar range and power out put along with antenna dia,The MMR radar is seen installed on the 'Hack' aircraft. This radar is being developed under the LCA 'Tejas' programme and has an intended detection range of 120 km vs a 2 sq.m target. The Hack is offered for other testing purposes as well. (CABS via B Harry)

And the reason LRDE went to ELTA for back end processor was nothing to do with the air to air mode which was done locally.Antenna diameter 650 mm
Antenna gain 33 dB
TWT Power Output 6.5 kW (increaseable to 10 kW, 10% duty cycle)
Range 120 km against 2 sq.m RCS aerial target, >150 km for surface targets against sea clutter
All Up Weight (AUW) 130 kg
To keep the radar up to evolving standards, a new Advanced Signal and Data Processing Unit based upon Power-PC chips, has been developed to replace the older unit.

http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/military-aviation/17427-excellent-lca-info-14.html-A2A modes validated, look up/look down, including 10 target TWS
-Software work/trials on STT going, then dual STT
-A2G SV-2000 radar for ALH has SAR/ISAR
-A2G Modes on MMR will be done next
-LRU count on MMR reduced, all hardware realized
-SP/RC combined into one unit - with 3 Sharc processors, substantial weight/ volume savings..
-MMR has a range of upto 150Km, with substantial growth potential with a new TWT
-The Hack test aircraft has detected a Kiran at 60/45 km...but that is because of the wide space difference between the antenna and LRUs..with losses, in the Hack. This was apparently what the media reports referred to..the dumb journo mixed it up with the LCA..the LCA will have the LRUs next to each other..
Interim fit whilst the MMR gets ready, Elta 2032 radar
The MMR was revealed to much further along than previously thought (A2A modes), with software work on A2G modes being assisted by Elta. Hardware has been realised, with software modules for A2G modes to to be added. Only a few 2032's have been brought as well. The 20 LCAs on order had their Ge-404 IN-20s cleared. The earlier stuff about the RF losses from widely spaced LRUs turns out to be journalistic BS about the MMR on the Hack, and reported as being on the LCA (the MMR is actually slated to go on the LSP 3)
