Schedule 1 Amendments
(section 3)
[1] Subsection 3 (1), after definition of scientific station
insert
ultra wideband station means a low power station with an emission bandwidth (measured at the furthest -10 dB points either side of the peak emission level) at any time that is:
(a) greater than or equal to 500 MHz; or
(b) greater than or equal to 20% of the value of the centre frequency of the emission bandwidth measurement points.
UWB means ultra wideband.
[2] Paragraph 6 (1) (a)
substitute
(a) the call sign allocated by ACMA; or
[3] Subsection 9 (1)
after
that is also a mobile station
insert
operated on a frequency mentioned in column 2 or 3 of an item in Schedule 1
[4] Subparagraph 9 (1) (a) (i)
omit
the Schedule; and
insert
Schedule 1; and
[5] Subparagraph 9 (1) (b) (i)
omit
the item; and
insert
an item in Schedule 1; and
[6] After section 9
insert
9A Permitted frequencies
If the licensee operates under the licence a scientific non assigned station that is also a UWB station, the UWB station is authorised to operate:
(a) within the range of frequencies mentioned in column 2 of an item in Schedule 2, if the emissions comply with the conditions mentioned in column 3 of the item; and
(b) in accordance with any other conditions specified on the licence.
