13 Operation of radiocommunications transmitter within maximum EIRP level
(1) A person must not operate a radiocommunications transmitter within a class of radiocommunications transmitters mentioned in column 1 of the following table unless: (a) it is operated at a level of EIRP that does not exceed the maximum EIRP mentioned in column 2; and (b) the operation of the transmitter complies with the emission mask mentioned in column 3.
| Item | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class of radiocommunications transmitter | Maximum EIRP | Emission mask | |
| 1 | Low power transmitter | 16 dBm/MHz | L |
| 2 | High power transmitter used in a fixed service | 46 dBm/MHz | M |
| 3 | High power transmitter used in a mobile service | 29 dBm/MHz | M |
| 4 | High power airborne mobile transmitter used in a mobile service | 36 dBm/MHz | M |
(2) A person must not operate a radiocommunications transmitter within a class of radiocommunications transmitters mentioned in column 1 of the following table unless it is operated at a level of EIRP that does not exceed the maximum EIRP mentioned in column 2.
| Item | Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Class of radiocommunications transmitter | Maximum EIRP | |
| 1 | Cellular mobile base station | 33 dBm/MHz |
| 2 | Cellular mobile user equipment | 25 dBm per occupied bandwidth |
(3) If a person operates a radiocommunications transmitter that complies with: (a) emission mask L – operation of the transmitter must not exceed a maximum transmitter power of 7 dBm/MHz; (b) emission mask M – operation of the transmitter must not exceed a maximum transmitter power of 20 dBm/MHz; (c) emission mask P – operation of the transmitter must not exceed a total radiated power of 20 dBm/MHz; (d) emission mask O – operation of the transmitter must not exceed a total radiated power of 25 dBm per occupied bandwidth.
