5  Definitions
 (1) In this instrument:
2.5 GHz mid band gap means the frequency band 2570 MHz to 2620 MHz.
2.5 GHz mid band gap receiver means a radiocommunications receiver operated under a 2.5 GHz mid band gap spectrum licence.
2.5 GHz mid band gap spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the 2.5 GHz mid band gap.
2.5 GHz spectrum licence means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in the following parts of the spectrum:
 (a) 2500 MHz to 2570 MHz;
 (b) 2620 MHz to 2690 MHz.
Act means the Radiocommunications Act 1992.
adjacent channel, in relation to another channel (the occupied channel), means a channel with a centre frequency offset on either side of the assigned channel frequency of the occupied channel by a specific frequency relation.
adjacent channel selectivity: see item 2 of Schedule 1.
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.
compatibility requirement: see Part 5 and Schedule 2.
device boundary criterion has the meaning given by:
 (a) the section 145 determination; or
 (b) if another instrument replaces that determination – the other instrument.
effective antenna height has the meaning given by:
 (a) the section 145 determination; or
 (b) if another instrument replaces that determination – the other instrument.
emission buffer zone, in relation to a spectrum licence, means a zone along the frequency or geographic boundary specified in a spectrum licence where emission levels of radiocommunications transmitters are reduced to ensure that significant levels of emissions stay within the geographic areas and frequencies of the licence.
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.
frequency adjacent spectrum licence, in relation to a spectrum licence (the first licence), means a spectrum licence that authorises the operation of radiocommunications devices in a part of the spectrum that is adjacent to the parts of the spectrum specified in a core condition of the first licence.
geographic area, for a spectrum licence, means the area within which operation of a radiocommunications device is authorised under the licence.
in-band means:
 (a) for a radiocommunications device operated under a spectrum licence – the part of the spectrum within which the operation of radiocommunications devices is authorised under the licence; or
 (b) for a radiocommunications device operated under an apparatus licence that specifies a frequency band – the
