Radiocommunications Regulations




NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 7 — 28 JANUARY 2016

  1. Indoor–Only Systems: In the band 5250 – 5350 MHz, the maximum power is –7 dBW (200 mW) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted power spectral density is –20 dBW/MHz (10 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p., provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented. If Transmitter Power Control is not used, then the maximum power (e.i.r.p.) value must be reduced by 3 dB;

Indoor and Outdoor Systems: In the band 5250 – 5350 MHz, the maximum power is 0 dBW (1 W) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted power spectral density is –13 dBW/MHz (50 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p., provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented in conjunction with the following vertical radiation angle mask where θ is the angle above the local horizontal plane (of the Earth):

Maximum permitted mean power density Elevation angle above horizontal
–13 dB(W/MHz) for 0° ≤θ <8°
–13 – 0.716(θ – 8) dB(W/MHz) for 8° ≤θ <40°
–35.9 – 1.22(θ – 40) dB(W/MHz) for 40° ≤θ ≤45°
–42 dB(W/MHz) for 45° <θ
  1. In the band 5470 – 5725 MHz, the transmitter peak power must not exceed –6 dBW (250 mW). The maximum power is 0 dBW (1 W) e.i.r.p. and the maximum permitted power spectral density is –13 dBW/MHz (50 mW/MHz) e.i.r.p., provided Dynamic Frequency Selection and Transmitter Power Control are implemented. If Transmitter Power Control is not in use, then the maximum power (e.i.r.p.) value must be reduced by 3 dB.

  2. In the band 7.4 – 8.8 MHz, use is restricted to inductive systems where the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 9 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres.

  3. In the band 3.155 – 3.400 MHz, the maximum permitted field strength is 13.5 dBµA/m measured in a 10 kHz bandwidth at a distance of 10 metres. In the bands 3.64 – 4.04 MHz and 10.44 – 10.76 MHz, the maximum permitted field strengths are –15 dBµA/m and –20 dBµA/m, respectively, both measured in a 10 kHz bandwidth at 10 metres.

  4. In the band 49.82 – 49.98 MHz, transmissions are permitted under this licence from 1 September 2015.

  5. Indoor–Only Systems: In the band 57 – 66 GHz, the power spectral density must not exceed –17 dBW/MHz (20mW/MHz) e.i.r.p.

  6. Transmissions must not exceed the following unwanted emission limits: –79 dBW (–49 dBm) within 800 MHz – 915 MHz and –63 dBW (–33 dBm) within 928 MHz – 1 GHz. The reference bandwidth for emissions is 100 kHz. Outside the band 800 MHz – 1 GHz, the limits prescribed in applicable standards prescribed in the Radiocommunications (Radio Standards) Notice 2015 apply. In the absence of applicable standards, the limits prescribed in Table 2 of the notice apply.

  8. In the band 0.009 – 0.090 MHz, the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 72 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres. In the band 0.090 – 0.205 MHz, the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 43 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres, except in the band 0.119 – 0.135 MHz, where the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed 66 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres. In the band 0.370 – 0.430 MHz, the magnetic field strength from devices must not exceed –5 dBµA/m at a distance of 10 metres.

  9. Use is limited to the purpose known as radio microphones (also known as wireless microphones, in-ear monitors or wireless audio transmitters). Analogue modulation schemes are permitted with a maximum necessary bandwidth of 300 kHz. Digital modulation schemes are permitted with a maximum necessary bandwidth of 200 kHz. Use of a power level above –20 dBW is only permitted when the user has first determined that the intended use will not affect the reception of television broadcasts in or adjacent to the proposed area of operation.

  10. General conditions applying to all transmissions under this licence—

  11. The frequency ranges, peak power of transmissions within those frequency ranges, and designated uses of
