and not having a -175dBc/Hz reference, how you can tell that your dual -150dBc/Hz performs like a -170dBc/Hz? Moreover: what is the physical principle that can explain this? Injection locking? Average in the power summer? Taking hundreds or thousands oscillators it seems possible to reach astonishing levels...
