3  Calculation of propagation loss for device boundary criterion
 (1) In calculating PL(lmn, Lmn):

      f               is:
                        (a)    for a radiocommunications transmitter operating in the 2 GHz lower band – 1950 MHz; or
                        (b)   for a radiocommunications transmitter operating in the 2 GHz upper band – 2140 MHz;
                      (the nominal frequency of the radiocommunications transmitter).
      hgr             is 1.5 metres (the nominal radiocommunications receiver antenna height above ground level).
                      is the radiocommunications transmitter effective antenna height (in metres) as defined in Schedule 3, except:
      d(lmn, Lmn)     is the distance in kilometres between the location of the radiocommunications transmitter, (lt, Lt), and the mth increment on the nth radial (lmn, Lmn).

 (2) The propagation loss for the mth increment on the nth radial (PL(lmn, Lnm)) is established as follows:
         Step 1: Calculate the parameters required:
         Step 2: Calculate the propagation loss for the mth increment on the nth radial (PL(lmn, Lnm)):

 (a) for a radiocommunications transmitter that operates in the 2 GHz lower band:

 (b) for a radiocommunications transmitter that operates in the 2 GHz upper band:
