One thing you may consider is multiplying your source and reference up to a

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.
One thing you may consider is multiplying your source and reference up to a
much higher frequency and then mixing them together, using the mixer as a
phase detector, to a low frequency for measurement. Problem being is that
the phase noise of most modern oscillators, somewhat removed from the
