1  Definitions
  In each instrument for which this Dictionary defines expressions:
AAS (short for active antenna system) means a base station antenna system where the amplitude and/or phase between antenna elements is continually adjusted, resulting in an antenna pattern that varies in response to short term changes in the radio environment.
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.
Australian Spectrum Map Grid means the Australian Spectrum Map Grid 2012, published by the ACMA.
Note: The Australian Spectrum Map Grid is available, free of charge, from the ACMA's website at www.acma.gov.au.
Australian territorial sea baseline means the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea, or any part of the territorial sea, is to be measured under section 7 of the Seas and Submerged Lands Act 1973.
average ground height: see item 2 of Schedule 2.
centre frequency, in relation to a radiocommunications transmitter, means the frequency midway between the lower and upper frequency limits of the transmitter's occupied bandwidth.
DEM-3S means the dataset:
 (a) with the citation "Gallant, J., Wilson, N., Tickle, P.K., Dowling, T., Read, A. 2009. 3 Second SRTM Derived Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Version 1.0. Record 1.0. Geoscience Australia, Canberra"; and
 (b) given the persistent identifier http://pid.geoscience.gov.au/dataset/ga/69888;
       published by Geoscience Australia.
Note: DEM-3S is available, free of charge, from Geoscience Australia using the persistent identifier. More information about DEM-3S is available, free of charge, from the Geoscience Australia website at www.ga.gov.au.
DEM-3S cell means an individual height element of the DEM-3S.
effective antenna height: see item 1 of Schedule 2.
EIRP, in relation to a radiocommunications device, means the equivalent isotropically radiated power of the device.
emission buffer zone, in relation to a spectrum licence, means a zone along the frequency boundary or geographic boundary specified in a spectrum licence where radio emissions of radiocommunications transmitters are modified to ensure that significant levels of those radio emissions stay within the geographic areas and frequencies of the licence.
emission designator: see item 2.
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 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.
GDA94 means the geodetic datum designated as the "Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA)", gazetted in the Commonwealth of Australia Gazette No. GN 35 on 6 September 1995, as existing
