Not yet, I just used the pair of TI evaluation boards which I obtained
for another project.
I intend to mount the various components (splitters, 180 degree hybrids
etc) on a thick aluminium plate to improve the mechanical and thermal
stability of the system.

Hi
Did you do any temperature stabilization on the op amps?

Subsequent measurements using an improved technique has allowed the true
flicker phase noise characteristics of a pair of OPA653 opamps to be
determined.
Opamp
Gain 1x (6db folled by 6 db attenuator consisting of a 50 ohm resistor in
series with the output of the opamp and the 50 ohm load resistor)
Signal input level: + 10dBm
OFFSET Opamp PN (dBc/Hz) Measurement system PN (dBc/Hz)
1 -148 -161
10 -161 -172
100 -164 -177
1000 -164 -179
Source: 10MHz low phase noise OCXO removed from a Thunderbolt amplified by a
QBH9816 amplifier.
Conclusion: FET opamp PN in the flicker region can be quite low despite its
somewhat higher baseband flicker noise than that of some bipolar input opamps.
