wow, what a discussion I triggered, hi. Why it's so difficult to accept RADE's superiority compared with SSB. Hard compressed SSB is no benchmark, it's a wonderful intermodulation generator at least for legacy radios. The nominal 3 kHz bandwidth explodes up to 10 and more kHz. Only HPSDR based radios are able to linearize internal*+ *external poweramps by means of adaptive digital predistortion.

The RADE paper has estimates of how much CPU is needed: https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.06671. Hope this helps!

    a while back,  years now, I floated a "SM3000" project using FPGA
    +SoC (integrated) hardware.
    Then at about same time, LPCnet etc was the new kid on the block.
    Suddenly, the horsepower required took a big hike. So, project
    went on hold

    I have a bit more time up my sleeve, and substantial resources to
    make this happen.  I'm doing another priject right now that has a
    hard-burned in CNN into the fpga fabric (no moving weights out of
    memory to the transformers) (fpga reconfigures itself every few
    100uS to adopt a different function )

    Target would be at least RADE.
    But I am not in the loop enough to understand computational
    requirements.
    If someone has time, they might converse with me here, or
    privately about computational requirements.
    It is also important to consider, that when there is an FPGA
    involved,  computational requirements of a software written task
    can be quite different if parallel fpga resources can be thrown at
    something.  IE mixed implementation, which can save alot of power.
    And saving power means a much simpler mechanical design, because
    designs that make lots of heat need more advanced metalwork ideas 
    to get rid of the heat .  But that's a bit beyond this discussoon.

    Such a design also needs plenty of capability in hand at Rev 1,
    because fearyures and scope and capability requirementts always
    increase.

    We are assuming that with compression, the pa linearity holds.
    Which is usually not the case. Advantage RADE
