5 Definitions
(1) In this instrument:
2 GHz band means the 2 GHz lower band and the 2 GHz upper band.
2 GHz lower band means the frequency band 1920 MHz to 1980 MHz.
2 GHz receiver means a radiocommunications receiver operated under a 2 GHz spectrum licence.
2 GHz spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 2 GHz band.
2 GHz upper band means the frequency band 2110 MHz to 2170 MHz.
Act means the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
adjacent channel, in relation to another channel (the occupied channel), means a channel with a centre frequency offset on either side of the assigned channel frequency of the occupied channel by a specific frequency relation.
adjacent channel selectivity: see item 2 of Schedule 1.
centre frequency, in relation to a radiocommunications transmitter, means the frequency midway between the lower and upper frequency limits of the transmitter’s occupied bandwidth.
compatibility requirement: see Part 5 and Schedule 2.
device boundary criterion has the meaning given by:
(a) the section 145 determination; or
(b) if another instrument replaces that determination – the other instrument.
emission buffer zone, in relation to a spectrum licence, means a zone along the frequency or geographic boundary specified in a spectrum licence where emission levels of radiocommunications transmitters are reduced to ensure that significant levels of emissions stay within the geographic areas and frequencies of the licence.
fixed receiver means a radiocommunications receiver:
(a) located at a fixed point on land or sea; and
(b) not designed or intended for use while in motion.
fixed transmitter means a radiocommunications transmitter:
(a) located at a fixed point on land or sea; and
(b) not designed or intended for use while in motion.
frequency adjacent spectrum licence, in relation to a spectrum licence (the first licence), means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in a part of the spectrum that is adjacent to the parts of the spectrum specified in a core condition of the first licence.
