Re: [amsat-bb] PLL Phase noise and SSB

["John Stephensen, KD6OZH" <kd6ozh@xxxxxxx>]

At a 1 kHz offset the phase noise should be less than -65 dBc -- this limits
the maximum SNR to about 30 dB in a 3 kHz bandwidth. -85 dBc would be
better. At a 10 kHz offset the phase noise should be -120 dBc or less, but
you can live with -90 dBc if there are no strong signals near the desired
signal.
