  The phase noise of oscillators essentially determines the transmission quality of radiocommunication systems. In a transmitter, it affects the modulation quality of the transmit signal and the power radiated into the adjacent channel. In a receiver, it determines selectivity and demodulation quality. The higher the order of modulation, the more important is low phase noise of the conversion oscillators, for example to produce low bit error rate.
