  1. Name of Plan Variation

This Plan Variation is the Radiocommunications (Digital Radio Channels — Queensland) Plan Variation 2008 (No. 1).

  1. Commencement

This Plan Variation commences on the day after it is registered.

  1. Variation of Radiocommunications (Digital Radio Channels — Queensland) Plan 2007

Schedule 1 varies the Radiocommunications (Digital Radio Channels — Queensland) Plan 2007.

Schedule 1        Variations

(section 3)

[1]           Section 3, after definition of DAB

insert

depression angle means the angle between the horizontal line and the dividing line.

[2]           Section 3, after definition of designated BSA radio area

insert

dividing line — see section 3A.

ERP means effective radiated power.

[3]           Section 3, after definition of frequency block

insert

horizontal line means a horizontal line at the maximum antenna height of an antenna.

[4]           After section 3

insert

3A           Dividing line

(1)   In this Plan, dividing line means a line from a point at the maximum antenna height of an antenna to a point on the Earth below the horizontal line.

(2)   For subsection (1), if a negative value is specified in the depression angle, the point on the Earth is above the horizontal line.

[5]           After section 4

insert

  1. Maximum ERP limits

(1)   For each digital radio multiplex transmitter, the ERP of that transmitter in any part of a sector or bearing must not exceed the maximum ERP specified in the output radiation pattern table for that sector or bearing.

(2)   If the output radiation pattern table for a digital radio multiplex transmitter specifies two maximum ERP values for a sector or bearing, the ERP of the transmitter in that sector or bearing must not exceed:

(a)    for a point at or above the dividing line — the maximum ERP in the column headed “At or above dividing line”; and

(b)    for a point below the dividing line — the maximum ERP in the column headed “Below dividing line”.

(3)   The licensee of a digital radio multiplex transmitter must, if requested by ACMA to do so, demonstrate, to the satisfaction of ACMA, that the ERP of a transmitter in any part of a sector or bearing specified by ACMA complies with this section.
