Commonwealth Numbered Regulations

1995 No. 74 RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS (MULTIPOINT DISTRIBUTION STATION LICENCES - REGIONAL LICENCES) GUIDELINES No. 1 of 1995 - REG 11

11. Subject to the Act and these Guidelines if, in the opinion of the SMA, the
operation of a number of co-sited MDS transmitters in accordance with licence
conditions, including licence conditions imposed in accordance with these
Guidelines, results in intermodulation interference to an earth station
receiver, then:

   (a)  in exercising its power under section 107 of the Act to impose a
        condition on an MDS licence; or

   (b)  its power under section 111 of the Act to impose a further condition
        on, or to vary a condition of an MDS licence; the SMA must exercise
        the power for the purpose of ensuring that the interference no longer
        results from the operation of those transmitters. (NOTE.
        Intermodulation products arising from the operation of a number of
        co-sited MDS transmitters may have the potential to cause interference
        to the earth station receivers of space services located at some
        distance from these sites. It is in MDS licensees' interests to apply
        good site engineering practices in order to minimise the generation of
        these products.)
