There is a AppNote at the silabs website according phase noise 
performance for the various output stage options. No wonder, ECL would 
be best.

Hm, of more interest is the question how good the phase noise should be 
for a system view? Especially I would be interested in suggested design 
values for PSK transmission. I tried Google for it but never found an 
answer. All is, that XTALs are really clean, even LCs, but PLLs and RC 
oscillator deliver more poor performance. This is a very simple view, as 
one must think of carrier shifted performance.

It of course also depends on oscillator construction. Most times the 
74xx4060 is suggested as a bad candidate but I think that device is much 
better than what others think about it - but (others) probably never 
tested it.

What do you think?
