Country chart
| Control | Column |
|---|---|
| AT applies to 7A005.b | AT 1 |

List-based license exceptions
Items
- a. Employing a decryption algorithm “specially designed” or modified for government use to access the ranging code for position and time; or
- b. Employing 'adaptive antenna systems'.
Related controls
(1) See also ECCNs 7A105, 7A611 and 7A994. Commercially available “satellite navigation system” receivers do not typically employ decryption or adaptive antennae and are classified as 7A994. (2) See USML Category XII(d) for “satellite navigation system” receiving equipment subject to the ITAR and USML Category XI(c)(10) for antennae that are subject to the ITAR. (3) Items that otherwise would be covered by ECCN 7A005.a are “subject to the ITAR” (see 22 CFR parts 120 through 130).
Notes
Note: 7A005.b does not apply to “satellite navigation system” receiving equipment that only uses “components” designed to filter, switch, or combine signals from multiple omni-directional antennas that do not implement adaptive antenna techniques.
Technical Note: For the purposes of 7A005.b, 'adaptive antenna systems' dynamically generate one or more spatial nulls in an antenna array pattern by signal processing in the time domain or frequency domain.
