(1) In this instrument:

2.3 GHz band means the frequency band 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz.

2.3 GHz receiver means a radiocommunications receiver operated under a 2.3 GHz spectrum licence.

2.3 GHz spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 2.3 GHz band.

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.

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.

intermodulation response rejection: see item 3 of Schedule 1.

notional receiver performance level: see subsection 12(2) and item 1 of Schedule 1.

receiver blocking, in relation to a radiocommunications receiver, means the measure of the ability of the receiver to receive a wanted signal in the presence of a high level unwanted interferer on frequencies other than those of an adjacent channel, see item 4 of Schedule 1.

section 145 determination means the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference – 2.3 GHz Band) Determination 2024.
