I know, if the phase noise spectrum is known then ADEV can be calculated
from it , if the ADEV measurement system frequency response is known.

The questions are:

1) Is there a better method?

2) Are there any unanticipated problems with the method?

When testing indirect methods of measuring ADEV such a standard would be
useful for checking the measurement system and  its algorithms.
