8 GHz locking range with record phase noise of −97, −103, and −113 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz, 1 MHz, and 10 MHz offset, respectively, and rms jitter < 40 fs. Stepped-frequency chirps with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation covering the 152–160 GHz range were demonstrated in a th...
