4  Definitions
 (1) In this instrument:
       AAS (short for active antenna system) refers to an antenna system for a cellular mobile base station 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.
airborne mobile transmitter means a radiocommunications transmitter designed for use while in motion in the air, or during halts at unspecified points in the air.
ARPANSA Standard means the Radiation Protection Standard for Limiting Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields – 100 kHz to 300 kHz (2021), or any standard published as a replacement of that standard by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.
Note: The ARPANSA Standard is available, free of charge, from the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency website at www.arpansa.gov.au.
Australian Defence Force has the meaning given by the Defence Act 1903.
authorisation means an authorisation of the kind referred to in subsection 9(2).
authorised body means a body that is authorised by a public safety body under subsection 9(2) to operate a radiocommunications device under an authorisation.
cellular mobile base station means a radiocommunications transmitter which, when operated, complies with emission mask P.
cellular mobile user equipment means a radiocommunications transmitter which, when operated, complies with emission mask O.
complies with emission mask L: see subsection 12(2).
complies with emission mask M: see subsection 12(2).
complies with emission mask O: see subsection (2).
complies with emission mask P: see subsection (3).
fixed service has the same meaning as in the spectrum plan.
fixed transmitter means a radiocommunications transmitter that is part of a fixed service.
high power transmitter means a radiocommunications transmitter with a maximum transmitter power spectral density that is between 7dBm/MHz and 20dBm/MHz.
low power transmitter means a radiocommunications transmitter with a maximum transmitter power spectral density that is less than 7dBm/MHz.
maximum transmitter power means the peak power spectrum density that is measured as a conducted emission over any interval of continuous transmission.
       mobile service:
 (a) subject to paragraph (b), has the same meaning as in the spectrum plan;
 (b) does not include a radiocommunication service between:
                 (i) one or more cellular mobile base stations; and
                 (ii) one or more items of cellular mobile user equipment.
power spectral density means the measured amount of power within a specified bandwidth.
prescribed (airborne mobile) radius, in relation to radio astronomy site and an airborne mobile transmitter, means the radius corresponding to the site and transmitter set out in item 2 of Table 2.2 of Schedule 2.
prescribed (fixed or cellular mobile) radius, in relation to a radio astronomy site and a high power transmitter used in a fixed service or a cellular
