I don't own any texts with comprehensive discussions of AM to PM 
conversion or low-PN design.  The best sources will most likely be 
papers.  Some good search terms are "AM to PM conversion" (or "AM/PM 
conversion") and "low phase noise design" (or "low PN design").

Here are a few to get you started:

1985)  <www.thegleam.com/ke5fx/Scherer_Art_of_PN_measurement.pdf >

et al., 1984) <http://tf.nist.gov/general/tn1337/Tn190.pdf>
