Addendum: I don't know your application, but in a general high-speed
sampling systems, it's the white noise floor that you are worried
about, not the 1/f^a noise. And in that case, having a lown noise XO
produce your sampling clock is better than multiplying a low frequency
OCXO and using this directly, even if the XO is free running.
