 (1) In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears:
2.1 GHz band means the frequency band 1900 MHz to 2300 MHz.
2.2 GHz band means the frequency band 2025 MHz to 2285 MHz.
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 mid band gap means the frequency band 2570 MHz to 2620 MHz.
2.5 GHz mid band gap spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 2.5 GHz mid band gap.
2.5 GHz upper band means the frequency band 2620 MHz to 2690 MHz.
Act means the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
ARQZWA (short for Australian Radio Quiet Zone Western Australia) has the meaning given by the Radiocommunications (Australian Radio Quiet Zone Western Australia) Frequency Band Plan 2023, or any instrument made under section 32 of the Act as a replacement of that plan.
FDD means frequency division duplex.
fixed receiver means a radiocommunications receiver:
 (a) located at a fixed point on land or sea; and
 (b) not designed or intended for use while in motion.
fixed service has the meaning given by the spectrum plan.
fixed transmitter means a radiocommunications transmitter:
 (a) located at a fixed point on land or sea; and
 (b) not designed or intended for use while in motion.
in-band means:
 (a) for a radiocommunications device operated under a spectrum licence – the part of the spectrum within which the operation of radiocommunications devices is authorised under the licence; or
 (b) for a radiocommunications device operated under an apparatus licence that specifies a frequency band– the frequencies within the lower frequency limit and the upper frequency limit specified in the licence; or
 (c) for a radiocommunications device operated under an apparatus licence that specifies a specific frequency and bandwidth – the frequencies within that bandwidth, when centred on the specific frequency.
ITU-R Recommendation means a recommendation made by the Radiocommunication Sector of the International Telecommunication Union.

            Note: ITU-R Recommendations are available, free of charge, from the website of the International Telecommunication Union at www.itu.int.
out-of-band, for a radiocommunications device, means a frequency other than an in-band frequency.
point to point station has the meaning given by:
 (a) the Radiocommunications (Interpretation) Determination 2015; or
 (b) if another instrument replaces that determination and defines the term – the other instrument.
radio astronomy service has the meaning given by the spectrum plan.
RALI FX 3 means the Radiocommunications Assignment and Licensing Instruction FX 3 Microwave fixed services frequency coordination, published by the ACMA.
