[time-nuts] sysclock source for AD9912 DDS?

[Anders Wallin]

I've tested the AD9912 evaluation board:

I want to use it with a 10MHz external input clock, but it looks like the
on-board PLL that generates a 1200MHz sample clock from my input isn't that
great, since I get strong side-bands on the output that are only 18-20 dB
down from the fundamental.

So it looks like I need to supply a clean 800-1000MHz clock to the DDS to
get a clean output. Any ideas/suggestions for generating this from a 10 MHz
sine?
Driving the DDS system clock from an expensive RF generator (e.g. HP 8648A)
would be possible but I'd prefer a PLL from 10MHz if it's doable
simply/cheaply.
