According to the R&S engineers the phase noise comes mainly from the ADC clock
while the aperture jitter of the ADC adds only little phase noise.

R&S uses an ADC from Analog Devices with a sampling rate of around 80MHz.

Maybe it might be custom designed because there have been meetings between top engineers 
from R&S and Analog Devices during the development.
But that's speculation.
