per channel to optimise the transmission; and
b. Incorporating a linear power amplifier configuration having a capability to support multiple signals simultaneously at an output power of 1 kW or more in the frequency range of 1.5 MHz or more but less than 30 MHz, or 250 W or more in the frequency range of 30 MHz or more but not exceeding 87.5 MHz, over an "instantaneous bandwidth" of one octave or more and with an output harmonic and distortion content of better than ‑80 dB;
5. A. 001. b. 3. Being radio equipment employing "spread spectrum" techniques, including "frequency hopping" techniques, other than those specified by 5A001.b.4. and having any of the following:
a. User programmable spreading codes; or
b. A total transmitted bandwidth which is 100 or more times the bandwidth of any one information channel and in excess of 50 kHz;
Note: 5A001.b.3.b. does not apply to radio equipment specially designed for use with civil cellular radio‑communications systems.
Note: 5A001.b.3 does not apply to equipment designed to operate at an output power of 1 W or less.
5. A. 001. b. 4. Being radio equipment employing ultra‑wideband modulation techniques, having user programmable channelising codes, scrambling codes or network identification codes and having any of the following:
a. A bandwidth exceeding 500 MHz; or
b. A "fractional bandwidth" of 20% or more;
5. A. 001. b. 5. Being digitally controlled radio receivers having all of the following:
a. More than 1,000 channels;
b. A 'channel switching time' of less than 1 ms;
c. Automatic searching or scanning of a part of the electromagnetic spectrum; and
d. Identification of the received signals or the type of transmitter; or
Note: 5A001.b.5. does not apply to radio equipment specially designed for use with civil cellular radio‑communications systems.
Technical Note:
For the purposes of 5A001.b.5.b., 'channel switching time' means the time (i.e., delay) to change from one receiving frequency to another, to arrive at or within ±0.05% of the final specified receiving frequency. Items having a specified frequency range of less than ±0.05% around their centre frequency are defined to be incapable of channel frequency switching.
5. A. 001. b. 6. Employing functions of digital "signal processing" to provide 'voice coding' output at rates of less than 700 bit/s;
Technical Notes:
1. For variable rate 'voice coding', 5A001.b.6. applies to the 'voice coding' output of continuous speech.
2. For the purposes of 5A001.b.6., 'voice coding' is defined as the technique to take samples of human voice and then convert these samples into a digital signal, taking into account specific characteristics of human speech.
5. A. 001. c. Optical fibres of more than 500 m in length and specified by the manufacturer as
