I can't find any design issue in your post.
Your question is not design issue but simple usage of EDA tool.

I can not find your post in "Agilent EEsof Forums". Did you post to "Agilent EEsof Forums" ?
If you post there, I can answer there.

This is usually done using the DataAccessComponent, but I've not been able to get it to work.
Why do you use "DataAccessComponent" ?
Do you understand use model of "DataAccessComponent" ?
You can set phase noise data using list() function very simply.
See manual of ADS.
http://eesof.tm.agilent.com/docs/adsdoc2005A/ccsrc/index.htmlYou want to set phase noise via external file instead of directly setting ?
It might be possible, if you invoke makearray() and access_data() functions.
If you need more informations, post to "Agilent EEsof EDA > EEsof Knowledge Center > Discussion Forums".
There you can get many answers from Agilent's guys and ADS's expert users.
If no one answered, I will answer you there.
