For a project at work, I'm looking for a good close in phase noise oscillator (better than -100dBc@ 10Hz, -120dBc would be nice) at 100 MHz in a SMT form factor. But it doesn't need good temperature stability. There's tons of SMT OCXOs out there with reasonably good performance, but they draw

Hello, Jim, I suppose that one of the alternatives that you've explored are the ABLNO from Abracon http://www.abracon.com/Precisiontiming/ABLNO.pdf They say that they are 3rd overtone, but it seems more an AT-cut than a SC, and anyway is around 10dB poorer than your requirements. An I
