Schedule 5—Emission limits outside the band
(subsection 19(3))

1 Emission limits outside the band specified by written agreement

 (1) Where a written agreement specifying the maximum permitted level of radio emission exists between:

 (a) the licensee; and
 (b) all the affected licensees of frequency-adjacent spectrum licences, area-adjacent spectrum licences, and frequency-adjacent and area-adjacent apparatus licences in the frequency range 24.7 GHz–30.0 GHz;

  the licensee must comply with that specified maximum permitted level of radio emission.

 (2) Where there is no written agreement for the purposes of this clause in force, or where this clause does not apply, the licensee must comply with clause 2.

2 Unwanted emission limits

 (1) The licensee must ensure that a radiocommunications transmitter that is, or is part of, a base station and that is operated under the licence does not exceed the unwanted emission limits in subclauses (4), (5), (6) and (7).

 (2) The licensee must ensure that a radiocommunications transmitter that is not, and is not part of, a base station and that is operated under the licence does not exceed the unwanted emission limits described in subclauses (8), (9) and (10) and (11).

 (3) The licensee must ensure that a radiocommunications receiver that is operated under the licence does not exceed the unwanted emission limits in subclause (12).

  Radiocommunications transmitters that are base stations

 (4) The unwanted emission limit in Table 1, measured over the specified bandwidth, applies at frequencies:

 (a) outside the upper or lower frequency limits for the spectrum licence;
 (b) offset from the upper or lower frequency limits for the spectrum licence; and
 (c) outside the frequency range 23.6 GHz–24.0 GHz;

 where:

 BWoccupied is the occupied bandwidth of the radiocommunications transmitter operated under the spectrum licence; and

 foffset is the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limits for the spectrum licence. The closest -3dB point of the specified bandwidth closest to the upper and lower frequency limits for the spectrum licence is placed at foffset.

0 MHz ≤ foffset ≤ 0.1 x BWoccupied                        1 MHz

 (5) The unwanted emission limit in Table 2 applies at frequencies inside the frequency range 23.6 GHz–24.0 GHz for radiocommunications transmitters first operated under the spectrum licence before 1 September 2027, measured over the specified bandwidth.
