Among your many choices:
SignalHound SA-44B 919 USD (0C - 70C version)
https://signalhound.com/products/usb-sa44b/
With its (free) SPIKE software, you can measure phase noise (and much more). https://signalhound.com/spike/
Pix below is a sample (from the SM200A version).
Notes:
Requires a PC (laptop fine) for operation
Obviously will not ‘beat’ a R&S, HP, etc.
Portable - fits in a large pocket
External 10 MHz ref input
Made by folks who live near me (but I have no financial interest other than as a customer)
Libraries included should you wish to write your own software.
Your mileage may vary
Best of luck,
Scott
