Hi Dave, thanks for responding. I looked into the Wenzel reference just now and found -170 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz for one of their 100-200 MHz products. That's pretty close to the spec for a 25 MHz low phase noise circuit I bought on ebay for $100, and just above the thermal noise floor for a clock

Hi Karl, >> Thanks in advance to anyone whose interest is piqued enough to respond. My interest in piqued ... I'm in the process of measuring phase noise using a Rhode&Swartz on some EVMs and custom designs: 1. Texas Instruments DAC39RF10 DAC (I have rev1 and rev2 of their space parts) 2. Tex
