Hi Stephanie,
 
I have a similar issue, I can never tell if my messages post or not, some I 
 get back instantly others never show up in my inbox. I think the mail 
server was  just updated.. 
 
To answer your questions:
 
1) attached is the PN plot of the 1.0GHz version.
 
2) Here is a datasheet for the part:
 
   http://www.jackson-labs.com/index.php/products/uln_1g
 
The tricky part in your proposed setup will be getting a 100MHz crystal  
with low enough phase noise so that the 20log(N/M) added phase noise won't be 
a  problem - +20dB added after all.
 
On our part some of the tricky design issues were size and power as well as 
 the high output power of +22dBm, and a requirement to maintain the output  
power to within 0.5dB over the entire -40C to +85C temperature range.
 
bye,
Said

Hi,

It sounds like all my messages need moderator  approbation. Is it the 
rule on the list or a technical problem at my side  ?
Cheers
Stephane
