An inductor in series with the 220 ohm emitter resistor will improve the
phase noise floor.
The MMIC output amplifier has a wider bandwidth than necessary and
doesn't have a particularly high reverse isolation.
One could improve this by substituting a CB cascade or other discrete
amplifier cascade.
Alternative methods of extracting the signal from the collector of the
second transistor may be more effective in maintaining a low phase nose
floor.
