Regulation 2 Interpretation

In these Regulations—

• “automotive vehicle” has the meaning given for “vehicle” by Article 2 of Council Directive 70/156/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the type-approval of motor vehicles and their trailers^f1, as amended^f2;

• “dBm” means decibel milliWatt;

• “dBm/MHz” means decibel per milliWatt;

• “e.i.r.p.” means equivalent isotropic radiated power;

• “equivalent transmission level” means the peak level of transmission contained within a bandwidth which is other than 50 MHz, centred on the frequency at which the highest mean radiated power occurs, and which is the relevant maximum peak e.i.r.p. scaled down by a factor of 20log(50/x)dB, where “x” is the other bandwidth expressed in MHz;

• “GHz” means gigahertz;

• “indoors” means inside buildings or places in which the shielding will typically provide the necessary attenuation to protect wireless telegraphy against harmful interference;

• “mean e.i.r.p. density” means the mean e.i.r.p. measured with a 1 MHz resolution bandwidth, a root-mean-square detector and an averaging time of one millisecond or less;

• “MHz” means megahertz;

• “peak e.i.r.p.” means the peak e.i.r.p. contained within a 50 MHz bandwidth centred on the frequency at which the highest mean radiated power occurs;

• “railway vehicle” has the meaning given by Article 3 of EC Regulation 91/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2002 on rail transport statistics^f3, as amended^f4;

• “ultra-wideband equipment” means a wireless telegraphy station or wireless telegraphy apparatus incorporating, as an integral part or as an accessory, technology for short-range radiocommunication involving the intentional generation and transmission of radio-frequency energy that spreads over a frequency range wider than 50 MHz, which may overlap several frequency bands allocated to wireless telegraphy.
