(1) In this instrument:

2.5 GHz band means the 2.5 GHz lower band and the 2.5 GHz upper band.

2.5 GHz lower band means the frequency band 2500 MHz to 2570 MHz.

2.5 GHz receiver means a radiocommunications receiver operated under a 2.5 GHz spectrum licence.

2.5 GHz spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 2.5 GHz band.

2.5 GHz upper band means the frequency band 2620 MHz to 2690 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.

effective antenna height 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:
