This is a well known problem. Selection is a choice. Yes, to multiply it up several GHz is good if the analyzer is low noise .I use the R&S FSUP 8 with correlation and new enhanced dynamic range. If you are it that business such a phase noise system is a must. The Agilent is not so good below 10KHz, correction factor seems to be off, but better above 1MHz offset. Nice to have both
What is your requirement in phase noise ? Wenzel is the world leader (many $$$$) and I am trying to become less dependent of the crystal phenomena as you experience it . Please wait until my feedback circuit will be uploaded later.
