In hindsight, that doesn't seem too surprising.
I'm not a Juniper wizard. I could be way off here.
I'm assuming the Jupiter does phase jumps every second and uses DDS like
mechanisms within each second.
The DDS will make spurs. A simple analog filter will get rid of most of
them. What gets through will be close in. The phase jumps turn into close
in phase noise where "close" is under 1 Hz.
How would you measure that sort of phase noise?
