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
5 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.
