IL 1518

IL 1519

(b) Transmitters or transmitter-amplifiers designed to provide any of the following features:

(1) Any system of pulse modulation (this does not include amplitude-, frequency- or phase-modulated televisions or telegraphic transmitters or pulse-width modulated sound broadcasting transmitters);

(2) Rated for operation over a range of ambient temperatures extending from below -40°C to above +60°C;

(c) Transmitters for spread spectrum and frequency agile systems having a total transmitted bandwidth which is:

Note:

(For the definition of "spread spectrum" and "frequency agility", see Technical notes 1 and 2 to Item IL 1516.)

(1) 100 or more times greater than the bandwidth of any one information channel; and

(2) In excess of 50 kHz.

(For quartz crystals, see Item IL 1587; and for radio transmitters incorporating transmitter drive units, exciters and master oscillators using frequency synthesis, see also Item IL 1531.)

This item is not intended to cover the following transmitters or transmitter-amplifiers, or systems containing such equipment, accessories and sub-assemblies therefor:

(a) Specially designed for medical applications and operating at ISM frequencies;

(b) Having an output power of not more than 10 W, which are specially designed for:

(1) Industrial or civil intrusion detection and alarm;

(2) Industrial and traffic detection, counting, speed measurement, identification and movement control;

(3) Carrying the information from the equipment above, or the information of environmental, air or water, pollution detection or measurement systems.

(c) Transmitters using wideband amplifiers designed for non-frequency agile civil applications, such as television and mobile service.

Telemetering and telecontrol equipment suitable for use with aircraft (piloted or pilotless), space vehicles or weapons (guided or unguided), and test equipment specially designed for such equipment.

Note:

This item is not intended to cover equipment specially designed to be used for remote control of toys such as model planes and boats and having electric field strength of not more than 200 microvolts per metre at a distance of 500 metres.

Single- and multi-channel communication transmission equipment, including terminal, intermediate amplifier or repeater equipment and multiplex busses and multiplex equipment used for communications within or between communication or other equipment and systems by line, cable, optical fibre or radio means, and associated modems and multiplex equipment, as follows, and "specially designed software" therefor:

(a) Employing analogue transmission techniques with analogue input and output, designed to deliver, carry or receive baseband frequencies higher than 19 MHz into, or in, a communications system, but only higher than 300 kHz for equipment suitable for use with underwater cable;

Note:

Analogue transmission techniques include, inter alia, frequency division multiplex (FDM).

(b) Employing digital transmission techniques designed for operation at a total bit rate at the highest level multiplex point exceeding 8.5 Megabits per second, with analogue input and output, designed for use on communications circuits;

Notes:

1. Nothing in the above shall be construed as sanctioning the export of technology for equipment employing digital transmission techniques designed for operation at a total bit rate at the highest level multiplex point exceeding 2.1 Megabits per second, except technology for installation, operation or maintenance.
