Want to have a rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimate of a radio platform that meets your specific requirements?
Costs vary heavily based on your needs, but this tool is here to help you out!

Wideband
The SFDR calculated below is the worst-case wideband SFDR across the
entire RF chain (at the ADC for Rx, or the output SMA for Tx), and
includes all harmonics or spurious signals, even though they may lie
outside the signal bandwidth, as is the case when using a digital NCO
offset, and accounts for the maximum LO feedthrough at the
downconvertor. The actual wideband ADC or DAC SFDR are counted
separately and are generally >70dBc, depending on sample rate.
Bandwidth
There exists a thermodynamic relationship between Bandwidth and SFDR,
and noise figure. Please specify temperature, application bandwidth,
and desired noise figure. We will use those values to specify the 1dB
tangential sensitivity (minimum detectible signal that is 1dB above
the noise floor).
SNR = Application Bandwidth + NF/Phase Noise + RF losses.
Noise Figure and SNR calculations are evaluated at 20degC.
Noise Figure
Using the above, we find the following:
Power
Temperature Range
Latency
The following options require minimum order quantities and NREs; costs
below only provide the incremental unit costs required to meet the
specified certification level.
Certifications
The following options require minimum order quantities and NREs; costs
below only provide the incremental unit costs required to meet the
specified certification level.
Environment
The following options require minimum order quantities and NREs; costs
below only provide the incremental unit costs required to meet the
specified certification level, and further assume tests are tailored
consistent with Part 1 of MIL-STD-810H, and the appropriate test specific
tailoring guidance.
