Use this figure to calculate the phase noise for any application. To calculate in-band phase noise performance as seen at the VCO output, use the following formula:
−221 + 10log(f
PFD
) + 20logN. The value given is the lowest noise mode for the fractional channel.

Use this figure to calculate the phase noise for any application. To calculate in-band phase noise performance as seen at the VCO output, use the following formula:
−223 + 10log(f
PFD
) + 20logN. The value given is the lowest noise mode for the integer channel.
7
The PLL phase noise is composed of 1/f (flicker) noise plus the normalized PLL noise floor. The formula for calculating the 1/f noise contribution at an RF frequency (f
RF
)
and at a frequency offset (f) is given by PN = P
1_f
+ 10log(10 kHz/f) + 20log(f

/1 GHz). Both the normalized phase noise floor and flicker noise are modeled in the
