Table notes at the bottom

Question

I need a table to be displayed as below

The code for the table that I have written is :

 \documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}

\begin{document}
\begin {table}[htbp]
\label{table:3.6}
 \caption{Phase control word}
\centering\footnotesize
\renewcommand{\tabcolsep}{4pt}
\begin{tabular}{|@{}*{18}{c|}@{}}
\hline
{} & {} & \multicolumn{16}{c}{Phase Control Word(Binary)}\\ 
\hline
frequency & Phase  & Bit & Bit & Bit & Bit & Bit & Bit & Bit & Bit & Bit &      Bit & Bit & Bit 4 & Bit 3 & Bit 2 & Bit 1 & Bit 0\\
{} & Control Word & 15 & 14 & 13 & 12 & 11 & 10 & 9 & 8 & 7 & 6 & 5 & 4 & 3  & 2 & 1 & 0\\
\hline
48000 & 16384 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\

1000 & 341 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1\\

8000 & 2731 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 1\\

14000 & 4779 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1\\

21000 & 7168 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\

\hline
\multicolumn{18}{l}{%
  \begin{minipage}{6.5cm}%
 Note: [By University Requirement, no text should be allowed here in this landscape table/picture page. DON''T USE sidewaystable from rotating package, it cannot align landscape title to the left binding side.].%
  \end{minipage}%
}\\

\end{tabular}
\end{table}

This is how my output looks like-

I am missing the right margin in the right most column header and the 2nd line of table note is not center aligned. Please help me with this

The standard way to do this is to use the threeparttable package. See Add notes under the table (which is probably a duplicate.) — Alan Munn, Sep 07 '15 at 17:31
To have the missing rule: \multicolumn{16}{c|}{Phase Control Word(Binary)}. To have the note below, follow Alan Munn's link and use there \begin{tablenotes} \small \item\relax\centering [By University Requirement, no text should be allowed here in this landscape table/picture page. DON''T USE sidewaystable from rotating package, it cannot align landscape title to the left binding side.]. \end{tablenotes} — Gonzalo Medina, Sep 07 '15 at 17:43

You can save some more space by deleting those vertical lines:
