of the transmitter.

   Note At the date of the making of this Determination, Appendix 1 of the Radio Regulations made provision for determining the designation of a radiocommunications transmitter's emission.
   7 Group of radiocommunications transmitters
   (1) In this Determination, two or more fixed transmitters are a group of radiocommunications transmitters if:
     (a) they have the same centre frequency and emission designator;
 (b) they are operated for the purpose of communicating with the same radiocommunications receiver or group of radiocommunications receivers;
     (c) each has an antenna of the same type, model and manufacturer;
          (d) the antenna used with each fixed transmitter is located on the same structure and within 20 metres of the phase centre of all antennas within the group of radiocommunications transmitters; and
 (e) the identification number assigned by the ACMA to the antenna used with each radiocommunications transmitter is the same.
   (2) A radiocommunications transmitter must not belong to more than one group of radiocommunications transmitters.
   (3) The location of a group of radiocommunications transmitters is calculated in accordance with Schedule 1.
   8 Group of radiocommunications receivers
   (1) In this Determination, two or more fixed receivers are a group of radiocommunications receivers if:
          (a)  they are operated for the purpose of communicating with the same radiocommunications transmitter or group of radiocommunications transmitters;
      (b)  each has an antenna of the same type, model and manufacturer;
          (c)  the antenna used with each fixed receiver is located on the same structure and within 20 metres of the phase centre of all antennas within the group of radiocommunications receivers; and
          (d)  the identification number assigned by the ACMA to the antenna used with each radiocommunications receiver is the same.

   (2) A radiocommunications receiver must not belong to more than one group of radiocommunications receivers.

   (3) The location of a group of radiocommunications receivers is calculated in accordance with Schedule 1 as if the group of receivers were a group of radiocommunications transmitters.
   9 Unacceptable level of interference
   (1) A level of interference caused by a radiocommunications transmitter operated under a spectrum licence issued for the 3.4 GHz band is unacceptable if:
         (a) the operation of the transmitter in the 3.4 GHz band results in a breach of a core condition of the licence relating to the maximum permitted level of radio emission from the transmitter:
             (i) outside the parts of the spectrum the use of which is authorised under the licence; or
  (ii) outside the geographic area of the licence; or
         (b) subject to subsection (2), (3), (4) and (5) – any part of the device boundary of the transmitter lies outside of the geographic area of the licence; or
         (c) the device boundary of the transmitter cannot be calculated in accordance
