(1) In this instrument:

2.5 GHz mid band gap means the frequency band 2570 MHz to 2620 MHz.

2.5 GHz mid band gap receiver means a radiocommunications receiver operated under a 2.5 GHz mid band gap spectrum licence.

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

2.5 GHz spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the following parts of the spectrum:

(a) 2500 MHz to 2570 MHz;
(b) 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.
