[time-nuts] windows for FFT measurements of phase noise

What sort of windows do folks use for making FFT measurements of phase 
noise.

Say you have 1 second of sampled data (so the FFT resolution is 1 Hz). 
If you're interested in the noise power at, say, 10 Hz away, a 
rectangular window isn't going to be very far down, unless you have a 
LOT of points in the FFT.

Grove's paper from 2004 doesn't mention this detail.
