One word - AESA. THe F-22's version is similar to the Aegis system and it has such a fine resolution, it can identify a target by its shape. It also has such a narrow beam capability that it is unlikely to be detected. It is actually a system of about 50 radars that individually send out weak signals that are thrown out as interference by an RWR on an enemy aircraft, but collect it as one picture.

Couple this with the myriad of other sensors for identification.
