9  Unwanted emissions
        Unwanted emission limits – application

        (1) The licensee of an area-wide licence must not operate a radiocommunications transmitter that is not a low risk transmitter if its unwanted emissions exceed the limits in subclauses (3), (4), (6) or (7).

        (2) The licensee of an area-wide licence must not operate a radiocommunications transmitter that is a low risk transmitter if its unwanted emissions exceed the limits in subclauses (5), (6) or (7).
        Radiocommunications transmitters other than low risk transmitters

        (3) For radiocommunications transmitters without AAS, the unwanted emission limit in Table 1, measured over the specified bandwidth, applies at frequencies:
           (a) outside the upper or lower frequency limits specified in the licence; and
           (b) offset from the upper and lower frequency limits set out in the licence;

         where:
        foffset means the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limits set out in the licence. The closest -3dB point of the specified bandwidth to the upper and lower frequency limits set out in the licence is placed at foffset.

            Note: This subclause does not apply to low risk transmitters – see subclause (1).

Column 1                   Column 2                           Column 3
Frequency range (foffset)  Mean power per antenna port (dBm)  Specified bandwidth
0 MHz ≤ foffset < 5 MHz    -7 – (7/5) foffset (MHz)           100 kHz
5 MHz ≤ foffset < 10 MHz   -14                                100 kHz
foffset  ≥ 10 MHz          -15                                1 MHz

        (4) For radiocommunications transmitters with AAS, the unwanted emission limit in Table  2, measured over the specified bandwidth, applies at frequencies:
           (a) outside the upper or lower frequency limits specified in the licence; and
           (b) offset from the upper and lower frequency limits set out in the licence;

         where:
        foffset means the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limits set out in the licence. The closest -3dB point of the specified bandwidth to the upper and lower frequency limits set out in the licence is placed at foffset.

            Note: This subclause does not apply to low risk transmitters – see subclause (1).

Column 1                   Column 2                    Column 3
Frequency range (foffset)  Total radiated power (dBm)  Specified bandwidth
0 MHz ≤ foffset < 5 MHz    2 – (7/5) foffset (MHz)     100 kHz
5 MHz ≤ foffset < 10 MHz   -5                          100 kHz
foffset  ≥ 10 MHz          -6                          1 MHz

        Radiocommunications transmitters that are low risk transmitters

        (5) For low risk transmitters, the unwanted emission limit in Table 3, measured over the specific bandwidth, applies at frequencies:
           (a) outside the upper or lower frequency limits
