Thanks for the details.
This miniaturized device is nice.
There is no information regarding stability. Anything there ? What's the
technology inside ? crystal, TCXO ?
What is the approx price for a such device ?
The VCXO I was targetting is this one :

This should bring more or less the same level of PN once multiplied than
your ULN_1G.
However the frequency accuracy is poor and it needs to be disciplined in
most applications.
Cheers
Stephane

Hi Stephanie,
I have a similar issue, I can never tell if my messages post or not, some I
get back instantly others never show up in my inbox. I think the mail server
was just updated..
To answer your questions:
1) attached is the PN plot of the 1.0GHz version.
2) Here is a datasheet for the part:
http://www.jackson-labs.com/index.php/products/uln_1g
The tricky part in your proposed setup will be getting a 100MHz crystal with
low enough phase noise so that the 20log(N/M) added phase noise won't be a
problem - +20dB added after all.
On our part some of the tricky design issues were size and power as well as
the high output power of +22dBm, and a requirement to maintain the output
power to within 0.5dB over the entire -40C to +85C temperature range.
bye,
Said

Hi,
It sounds like all my messages need moderator approbation. Is it the
rule on the list or a technical problem at my side ?
Cheers
Stephane
