Hi
As I said, just how rational using these parts in a radio …. not at all clear
to me.
Back when I went to school, stuff that was this noisy was not in the “greatest”
category.
That was a *very* long time ago.
Oddly enough best performance synthesizers have gotten better. (as the posted

You can solve the spur problem by using the signal to lock an oscillator.
Some added phase noise but the oscillator can be very pure otherwise. Many
years ago I wrote an unsuccessful proposal for a synthesizer using that idea,
since the spectral purity spec was too tight to use synthesizer

Most of the Silabs parts are available in an I2C programmable version

That's for clarifying that. The web site is hard
to navigate. I see that the phase noise is not
even close to an HP 8662 and the VCXO

Hi
There are I2C versions that can be set to “any frequency”. That’s what people
are using
for synthesizers in radios. Again - one can debate just how good an idea this
all is.

This will be interesting to read. Around 15 years ago,
when I was working for Agilent, OEO was the "next big
thing" and they invested a lot of resources in it. Then
they abandoned it. I can't remember exactly what the
reason was.
