So, the elephant *is* in the room, how majestic. Thanks for taking the time to list some sample books/papers. A lot of general communications systems/RFIC books certainly acknowledge phase noise and the results because of its presence, but I don't know how many have an in depth discussion of ways to tame the beast, so to speak. It sounds as if improving phase noise has a large focus of many of your published works, I will take a look :). Ultimately for board level design, phase noise tends to be purchased versus designed.
Its difficult to appreciate just how much effort goes into a OCXO/TXCO without having a go at it yourself. It's one thing to to build an oscillator with 2n3904, I can only speculate just how much goes it into getting to -120 dBc/Hz and below at a 1Hz offset on a 10 MHz oscillator. If I recall correctly in Frerking text, there is somewhere between a paragraph to a page or two, warning that existing small-signal circuit theory (linearized about an operating point) doesn't actually apply here, and with a bit of hand waving says have faith it still sort of works. Does your text provide a good discussion of the implications of operating with large signals?
