13  Compatibility
 (1) The performance of a fixed receiver operated under a spectrum licence in the 26 GHz band meets the compatibility requirement if the receiver:
(a) has at least the notional level of receiver performance set out in Schedule 1 to this instrument;
(b) meets the compatibility requirement set out in Schedule 2 to this instrument; and
(c) was registered in the Register before the relevant radiocommunications transmitter was registered in the Register, whether or not the transmitter is authorised by the same apparatus licence as it was at the time it was registered in the Register.
 (2) The licensee of a radiocommunications transmitter operating under an apparatus or spectrum licence must ensure compatibility with a fixed receiver operating under a 26 GHz band spectrum licence that meets the compatibility requirements as stated in subsection (1).
 (3) Unless alternative arrangements are negotiated and agreed to between licensees, if a 26 GHz band spectrum licensee claims there is interference from one or more radiocommunications transmitters operating under another 26 GHz band spectrum licence to a radiocommunications receiver operated under its 26 GHz band spectrum licence, all relevant 26 GHz band spectrum licensees are required to synchronise their services as specified in any synchronisation requirement condition included in their spectrum licence.
Note: The synchronisation requirement is set out in clause 12 of Licence Schedule 4 of the sample licence in the Radiocommunications Spectrum Marketing Plan (26 GHz Band) 2020.
 (4) The interference management framework for radiocommunications devices operated under a class licence, except devices operated under the Radiocommunications (Body Scanning – Aviation Security) Class Licence 2018, are contained in the relevant class licence.
Note: For devices operated under the Radiocommunications (Body Scanning – Aviation Security) Class Licence 2018, see subsection 8(8).
