Regulation 2 Interpretation

In these Regulations—

• “AFC system” means an automated radio frequency co-ordination system operated by an organisation registered by OFCOM under section 53A(1) of the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006 to provide a dynamic spectrum access service^f1 in the UK;

• “dB” means decibels;

• “dBm” means decibels of power referenced to one milliWatt;

• “EIRP” means equivalent isotropic radiated power, which is the product of the power supplied to an antenna and the absolute or isotropic antenna gain in a given direction relative to an isotropic antenna, in dBm;

• “geo-location capability” means the ability of a device to determine the latitude and longitude coordinates of the location of its antenna along with the height above ground level of its antenna and the geo-location uncertainty of the location of its antenna;

• “geo-location uncertainty” means the uncertainty (in metres) of the location of a device’s antenna;

• “MHz” means megahertz;

• “nominal bandwidth” means the band of frequencies, inclusive of guard bands, assigned to a channel;

• “nominal centre frequency” means the centre frequency of a channel;

• “nominal channel” means a radio frequency channel defined by its nominal centre frequency and nominal bandwidth;

• “operational parameters” has the meaning described in regulation 11;

• “power spectral density” means the power per unit frequency of the transmitted signal, expressed in dBm per MHz;

• “unique device identifier” means a set of characters comprising the device manufacturer identifier, the device model identifier, and the device serial number.
