An inductor in series with the 220 ohm emitter resistor will improve the phase noise floor. The MMIC output amplifier has a wider bandwidth than necessary and doesn't have a particularly high reverse isolation. One could improve this by substituting a CB cascade or other discrete amplifier cascade. Alternative methods of extracting the signal from the collector of the second transistor may be more effective in maintaining a low phase nose floor.

The feedback network in the Fig 7 schematic makes a lot more sense than the 
network in the first Fig 7 ....
