5 Definitions
(1) In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears:
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 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.
AAS means a base station antenna system where the amplitude and/or phase between antenna elements is continually adjusted, resulting in an antenna pattern that varies in response to short term changes in the radio environment.
Note: AAS stands for active antenna system.
Act means the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
Australian Spectrum Map Grid means the Australian Spectrum Map Grid 2012, published by the ACMA.
Note: The Australian Spectrum Map Grid is available, free of charge, from the ACMA’s website at www.acma.gov.au.
Australian territorial sea baseline means the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea, or any part of the territorial sea, is to be measured under section 7 of the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973.
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.
DEM-3S means the dataset:
(a) with the citation “Gallant, J., Wilson, N., Tickle, P.K., Dowling, T., Read, A. 2009. 3 Second SRTM Derived Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Version 1.0. Record 1.0. Geoscience Australia, Canberra”; and
(b) given the persistent identifier [http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/69888](http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/69888);
published by Geoscience Australia.
Note: DEM-3S is available, free of charge, from Geoscience Australia using the persistent identifier. More information about DEM-3S is available, free of charge, from the Geoscience Australia website at www.ga.gov.au.
DEM-3S cell means an individual height element of the DEM-3S.
