    And Your point is?
Their effects would all be included in as much as they effect ADEV Osc noise 
and Phase noise.

You're not the Average Time nut and sounds like you're saying even you 
aren't using a choke ring with a carrier phase receiver?
Sounds like to keep it simple, still don't not need to test for that yet.

Multipath rejection, antenna selectivity, antenna amplifier gain,
antenna noise factor... all weigh in. Even for a simple Thunderbolt.

Several of us have carrier phase and dual frequency receivers. I have
several myself. I lack a good double-frequency antenna, choke-ring with
sufficient amplifier gain.
