5 Definitions
(1) In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears:
1800 MHz band means the 1800 MHz lower band and the 1800 MHz upper band.
1800 MHz lower band means the frequency band 1710 MHz to 1785 MHz.
1800 MHz spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 1800 MHz band.
1800 MHz upper band means the frequency band 1805 MHz to 1880 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.
blocking means the measure of the ability of a radiocommunications receiver to receive a wanted signal in the presence of a high level unwanted interferer on frequencies other than those of an adjacent channel.
Category 1 receiver: see paragraph 9(a).
Category 2 receiver: see paragraph 9(b).
Cellular Devices Class Licence means:
(a) the Radiocommunications (Cellular Mobile Telecommunications Devices) Class Licence 2014; or
(b) if another instrument replaces that class licence – the other instrument.
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.
CEPT Report 41 means CEPT Report 041, “Report from CEPT to European Commission in response to Task 2 of the Mandate to CEPT on the 900/1800 MHz bands: Compatibility between LTE and WiMAX operating within the bands 880-915 MHz / 925-960 MHz and 1710-1785 MHz / 1805-1880 MHz (900/1800 MHz bands) and systems operating in adjacent bands”, published by the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations.
Note: CEPT Report 41 is available, free of charge, from the website of the European Communications Office at docdb.cept.org.
Cordless Devices Class Licence means:
(a) the Radiocommunications (Cordless Communications Devices) Class Licence 2014; or
(b) if another instrument replaces that class licence – the other instrument.
