\subsubsection{Re-configuration Systems Operation Cost}  \subsection{Up-front Costs}  \subsubsection{Cost of Antennas Construction}  A According to \cite{moran}, a  commonly used rule of thumb for the cost of an antenna is that it is proportional to $D^{\alpha}$, where $\alpha \approx 2.7$ for values of $D$ from a few meters to tens of meters (see \cite{moran}). meters.  For $N$ antennas of diameter $D$ meters with accuracy $\frac{\lambda}{16}$, where $\lambda$ is in millimeters we could use \cite{mmadesign} as an upper limit for Antenna construction cost. \begin{equation}\label{eq:antenna_cost}  \text{Antenna Cost} = \frac{890N(\frac{D}{10})^{2.7}}{(\lambda^{0.7})} + 500  \end{equation}
