Some more testing today. It turns out that AD's schematic for the
evaluation board doesn't match with reality - and so I had not connected
the PLL filter components at all previously! Now they are 'in the loop' and
I get reasonable results without the 2x reference clock setting. With 2x

Yes the spurs could be from your source. that's a function generator/ARB
and spectral purity isn't one of the big design criteria for that kind

It looks like I will play around with the evaluation board some more, and
see if I can get the on-chip PLL to behave better.

Although expensive from a hobbyist viewpoint, the HP8648A is
far from HP/Agilent's best,

My lab has had good luck with the ADF4350 eval boards as clock generators.
The snippet description on the analog devices website of them is incorrect
though, they can accept a 10 MHz clock ref. The datasheet is definitely
more accurate than the description.

Anders,
I used an AD9858 years ago in our FireFox synthesizer product clocked at 1GHz
locked to the on-board 10MHz GPSDO.
I used an ADF4002 or 4000 (can't remember) pll with integer division driving a
UMC (now Sirenza) VCO. It worked very well and there where no 10MHz spurs
measurable. Its

I've used the AD9912 Eval board with great success - spurs with the
on-chip clock multiplier were -60dBc, IIRC, maybe better.
My guess is that you are pushing the on-chip VCO too high - do you
really need a 1200MHz system clock? The AD9912 is only specified for a
sys. clock of

Today I would not use a simple (cheap) 1GHz VCO anymore because of
the relatively high phase noise, and some if them require up to
20V drive voltage. I would use a Crystal based product such as our
ULN-1G 1GHz crystal oscillator. That part may be overkill since
