Comparison of ISS, ILS and PMC signals

This is a comparison between the ISS, ILS and PMC signals before (REF traces) and after the changes in the electroncis and the modulation depth, see 31095.

A few observations:

Reducing the ILS gain by 16 dB increases the noise seen by the PMC by the same amount below 1 kHz. This change reduced the ILS ugf from ~10 kHz down to ~1 kHz.
