LMX2581: Phase noise difference between measurement result and PLLatinum simulation

Part Number: LMX2581

Hello,

We measured the phase noise on LMX2581EVM default condition. There is ~10dB phase noise difference between simulation and measurement. Please refer the attached file.

The excel file is the simulation and measurement result. The left-side of simulation is on-board 100MHz oscillator is used case.

The oscillator phase noise is to read from CWX813 datasheet and input as the attached text file.
