LMS7002M sourcing

[mrf184]

There are many projects where I need many cheap I/Q transceivers with high bandwidth (10MHz or more); using a discrete solution (synthesizer chip + quadrature demodulator + baseband filter + amplifiers + adc) uses a lot of pcb area and isn't cheap, so LMS7002M seems a better idea. However it is difficult to source, with most distributors pricing it at $110 which is way too expensive (it probably has 2x margin from the distributor) and more expensive than the discrete solution. I'm trying to find a better source for it, and it seems no one is selling it on taobao/aliexpress yet. Does anyone know of a better way to get this chip or any alternatives?
