I'd prefer to multiply the clock because I'd like to have also a very low
phase noise:
the A/D is the one in the Perseus receiver (Direct sampling SDR receiver) <
http://www.microtelecom.it/perseus/> and for measurement purposes I'd like
to have it "spot on" frequency.
As you can imagine, being for a receiver, the low phase noise is a
requirement.
