Demystifying 5G – Phase noise of clock and LO components in 5G base stations

Massive MIMO and beamforming in 5G base stations impose stringent requirements on ADC and DAC sampling clocks and the LO signals in 5G base stations. The video demonstrates a clock generator and an RF synthesizer from IDT and shows the measurement of the phase noise, contributed by these components.
The demystifying 5G video series discusses main topics related to 5G including requirements, timeline, frequency bands and key components.

Can we say, in general, which clock source is better from a phase noise point of view, a sine wave or a CMOS Square wave? Isn't there more phase information over a sine wave than a square wave, hence it is better at training a synthesiser?

What did it do?
Please, someone explain

i can do all that with a rp350 digitec pedal and a defender amplifier 5 true wattz cathode ray tube amp
