I realise that, but some caveats are necessary, otherwise someone will try locking a low frequency VCO to the rubidium resonance at (6.83?) GHz by using a frequency multiplier chain to generate a 6.83GHz carrier. They will then wonder why it doesnt work, not realising the frequency multiplied carrier may have collapsed. If one is aware of the carrier collapse phenomenon, then the required VCO phase noise spec to avoid it can be worked out beforehand. In most other cases the simplified analysis works well.
