Regardless of whether you build your own phase noise measurement setup from parts or whether you purchase an already complete system made by Agilent or others, you will still face the reality that there are only three ways to measure phase noise and you mentioned them in your previous email: 1.

How is the best way to make phase noise measurements, starting from limited test kit? Methods I've seen rely on a low noise oscillator - not a lot of use if you don't know the noise performance of any of your oscillators. Another assumes your two oscillators each contribute the same amount of n
