Import and Export (Strategic Commodities) Regulations

[1988 Ed.

[Subsidiary]

(d) Transverse electromagnetic mode TEM devices:

(1) using magnetic, including gyro-magnetic, properties; or

(2) Using diodes embargoed by Item IL 1544;

(e) TR and anti-TR tubes and specially designed components therefor, except those designed for use in waveguides and having any of the following characteristics, which are in normal civil use for ground or marine radar:

(i) Operating at a peak power not exceeding 3 MW and at a frequency of 1.5 GHz or less;

(ii) Operating at a peak power not exceeding 1.2 MW and at a frequency over the range of 1.5 to 6 GHz,

(iii) Operating at a peak power not exceeding 300 kW and at a frequency over the range of 6 GHz to 10.5 GHz;

(f) Assemblies and sub-assemblies in which the isolating base material functions as a dielectric (as used in stripline, microstrip or slotline) except for those items specifically designed for use in civil television systems to meet ITU standards and using as an isolating material paper base phenolics, glass cloth melamine, glass cloth epoxy resin, polyethylene terephthalate or other isolating material with an operating temperature not exceeding 150°C (302°F);

(g) Phased array antennae and sub-assemblies, designed to permit electronic control of beam shaping and pointing (see Munitions List Item ML 15), and specially designed components therefor (including but not limited to duplexers, phase shifters and associated high-speed diode switches);

(h) Other antennae specially designed for operation at frequencies above 30 GHz having a diameter of less than 1 metre and specially designed components therefor;

(i) Microwave assemblies and sub-assemblies having circuits fabricated by the same processes used in integrated circuit technology, which include active circuit elements (for acoustic wave devices, see Item IL 1586) (see also Item IL 1564).

(j) Microwave assemblies and sub-assemblies which contain band-pass or band-stop filters and are capable of operating at 3 GHz or greater;

(k) Amplifiers (see also Item IL 1521);

(l) PIN modulators (see also Item IL 1544).

5. IL 1541

6. Sub-item (g) above is not intended to cover duplexers and phase shifters specifically designed for use in civil television systems or in other civil radar or communication systems not covered elsewhere in these Lists.

7. Nothing in the following shall be construed as permitting the export of technology, except the minimum technology for the use (i.e. installation, operation and maintenance) of the following equipment.

Sub-items (l) and (4) do not embargo microwave assemblies, sub-assemblies or amplifiers (or combinations therefor) having all of the following characteristics:

(a) Fixed tuned at the time of manufacture to operate only within the ITU satellite broadcasting band from 11.7 to 12.5 GHz;

(b) Not capable of being retuned to a new frequency band by the user; and
