TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the usefulness of phase-modulation (PM) noise measurements vs. noise figure (NF) measurements in characterizing the merit of an amplifier, and reconciled a general misunderstanding in using -174 dBc/Hz (relative to carrier input power of 0 dBm) as thermal noise level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the first advancement in the estimation of an oscillating signal's long-term frequency stability since the conventional Allan variance estimator, called "Totvar" (pronounced tot-var) for short.

TL;DR: In this article, an optical-electronic approach to generate microwave signals with high spectral purity was presented. And they demonstrated 10 GHz signals with an absolute timing jitter for a single hybrid oscillator of 420 attoseconds (1Hz - 5 GHz).
