CDCI6214: Test conditions of Closed-Loop Phase Noise

Part Number: CDCI6214

Hi Team,

My customer is evaluating CDCI6214 with 2.5GHz VCO.
  - Y1 : 2.5GHz / 4 / 4  = 156.25MHz
  - Y2 : 2.5GHz / 5 / 5  = 100MHz
  - Y3 : 2.5GHz / 5 / 15 = 33.333MHz
  - Y4 : 2.5GHz / 4 / 4  = 156.25MHz

When they measured Closed-Loop Phase Noise of their CDCI6214 board, 
 - Closed-Loop Phase Noise was around +20dBc/Hz higher than that of "Figure 2. 156.25-MHz Carrier" on page 13 of Datasheet.
 - Frequency error was +30ppm, or +10ppm under Crystal.

Could you let me know the test conditions of Closed-Loop Phase Noise of "Figure 2. 156.25-MHz Carrier" including Loop Filter setting?

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Koshi Ninomiya
