 (3) In this instrument, for a licence, a spectrum access is a combination of:
 (a) either:
 (i) a particular frequency band; or
 (ii) a particular frequency and a particular bandwidth; and
 (b) either:
 (i) a particular location; or
 (ii) a particular area;
  within which operation of one or more radiocommunications receivers is authorised by the licence.
Note 1: There may be more than one spectrum access for a licence.
Note 2: The spectrum accesses for a licence may be worked out by looking at the conditions of the licence that relate to the frequencies on which each radiocommunications receiver may be operated, and the corresponding geographic areas within which, or locations from which, each receiver may be operated. The corresponding geographic area may be the whole of Australia.
 (4) In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears, a reference to a station is taken to be a reference to each radiocommunications receiver that forms part of the station.
Note: A station is an installation or thing that is, or includes, one or more radiocommunications transmitters, one or more radiocommunications receivers, or both one or more radiocommunications transmitters and one or more radiocommunications receivers. The Act imposes tax only in relation to receiver licences, so this instrument is primarily concerned with receiver licences and radiocommunications receivers. However, the manner for calculating the amount of tax in relation to some receiver licences may depend on specified radiocommunications transmitters.
 (5) Unless the contrary intention appears, terms used in this instrument that are defined in the Radiocommunications Act 1992 have the same meaning as in that Act.
Note: This instrument defines licence in a different manner than the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
 (6) In this instrument, unless the contrary intention appears, a reference to a part of the spectrum or a frequency band includes all the frequencies that are greater than but not including the lower frequency, up to and including the higher frequency.
