The U-band receiver is different from previous receivers due to the requirement that it stay linear while receving PAVE PAWS radar pulses. It probably consumes 10 times more power than previous receivers so if there are to be two of them, one will probably have to be switched off. The L-band receiver can be low power so it can be on all the time.
