5  Definitions
 (1) In this instrument:
2.3 GHz band means the frequency band 2300 MHz to 2400 MHz.
2.3 GHz receiver means a radiocommunications receiver operated under a 2.3 GHz spectrum licence.
2.3 GHz spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 2.3 GHz band.
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.
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.
intermodulation response rejection: see item 3 of Schedule 1.
notional receiver performance level: see subsection 12(2) and item 1 of Schedule 1.
receiver blocking, in relation to a radiocommunications receiver, means the measure of the ability of the receiver to receive a wanted signal in the presence of a high level unwanted interferer on frequencies other than those of an adjacent channel, see item 4 of Schedule 1.
section 145 determination means the Radiocommunications (Unacceptable Levels of Interference – 2.3 GHz Band) Determination 2024.
Note 1: The section 145 determination is available, free of charge, from the Federal Register of Legislation at www.legislation.gov.au.
Note 2: A number of other expressions used in this instrument are defined in the Act, including the following:
(a) ACMA;
(b) apparatus licence;
(c) class licence;
(d) core condition;
(e) frequency band;
(f) interference;
(g) radiocommunications device;
(h) radiocommunications receiver;
(i) radiocommunications transmitter;
(j) Register;
(k) spectrum licence;
(l) transmitter licence.
Note 3: A number of other expressions used in this instrument may be defined in the Radiocommunications (Interpretation – Technical Framework) Determination 2024 or in another instrument made under subsection 64(1) of the Australian Communications and Media Authority Act 2005 to replace it, including:
               (a)      Act;
               (b)      centre frequency;
               (c)      emission buffer zone;
               (d)      fixed receiver;
               (e)      fixed transmitter;
               (f)       geographic area;
               (g)      in-band;
               (h)      mobile device;
               (i)       out-of-band;
               (j)       unwanted signal;
               (k)      wanted signal.
 (2) In this instrument, unless otherwise specified, a reference to a part of the spectrum or a frequency band includes all frequencies that are greater than but not including the lower frequency, up to and including the higher frequency.
Note: This subsection means the lower number in a part of the spectrum or a frequency band is not included in the part of the spectrum or the frequency band.
