LMX2615EVM-CVAL: Phase Noise Discrepancy

Part Number: LMX2615EVM-CVAL

Good morning,

I'm comparing phase noise plots from the Pllatinum simulation & my own phase noise measurements of a reference signal for the LMX2615.  The reference phase noise measurements are imported using the suggested .txt format, but the OSC phase noise contribution plots are significantly higher than the phase measurements I made for the source.

In the plot below, the grey trace is the exported OSC phase noise values from Pllatinum and the other represent the smoothed & raw phase noise traces of the measurements made on the source.

I attached the phase noise file I'm importing as the Input Source (OSC) Noise in Pllatinum, do I need to adjust my measurement to have a different resolution step size?
