Consider that it is de-modulated and then low-pass filtered.

Also, it is the alternating rate and not 1400 Hz difference in DDS setting which is the key parameter here. The 1400 Hz gives a hint of the Q-value however, which seems to be lower on these than on any of my larger rubidiums, but it is maybe to be expected.
Yes, you're right... I was thinking on the alternating rate (that in fact I measured, at 416.6666..Hz, but the other number came first ;) ), and in the fact that the FRS, that uses 127Hz as alternating rate, has notorious spurs at 127 and 254Hz (al at a lot of their harmonics), so I was expecting someting similar for the FE5680A at 416.6666Hz and harmonics, but seems not to be there (or the spur forest makes not easy to see these trees :) )

I answer myself. Perhaps they are there quite notoriously, since in the spectra plots that I took when I got mine, now it is clear why there are two peaks at around -70/-75dBc at somewher that seems very near +/-416.7Hz: http://www.nebulosa.org/images/FE5680A/FE5680A4.jpg Probably in the phase noise plot they are masked by all the phase noise floor and other spurii that are not so apparent in a quick measurement with the spectrum analyzer
