Matt,
Thanks, I¡¯ll do that test. ?Phase noise is something I have dealt with. ?We bought the Phase Noise Analyzer that went in the F-16 radar test set from Linksys(old CMI). One of my projects was a tripler replacement that had to beat -145dBc, the design got to the edge of what I could measure at -160 dBc We used adjustable air lines, double balanced mixers, a high gain low noise amp and a HP 3590/94 meter. But this was all at UHF and X-band.?
