Part 4—Change of transmitter site and technical operating specifications procedure

18 Application of Part 4

This Part applies to a licensee or an authorised person in circumstances where: (a) the licensee or authorised person intends to change the location of a transmitter; or (b) the licensee or authorised person intends to change the technical operating specifications of a transmitter where such changes, if implemented, may cause interference to radiocommunications transmitted by transmitters operated by radiocommunications licensees.

Note: Increasing the power level of a transmitter, changing antenna radiation patterns and changing location of an antenna on a structure are changes that are likely to increase the potential for interference.

19 Change of transmitter site and technical operating specifications procedure

(1) A licensee or authorised person to which this Part applies must cause EMC calculations to be performed by a person competent to carry out such calculations. (2) For services planned in a LAP or DRCP, the EMC calculations referred to in subguideline (1) must be performed assuming the maximum ERP specified in the relevant LAP or DRCP for the transmitter. (3) Interference assessment reports and documentation of any relevant EMC calculations must be made available by a licensee or an authorised person to the ACMA upon request.

Note: Information and documents provided to the ACMA under these guidelines may be accessed by or given to third parties.
