56 - APPENDIX ZZ - VARIATIONS FOR AUSTRALIA

Specifies the radio frequency characteristics of short range radiocommunication devices required for suitable operation in the Australian radiofrequency spectrum. It also includes test methods for verifying that suitability. An appendix includes those requirements specific to the Australian radiofrequency spectrum plan. This Standard is based on and has been reproduced from ETSI I-ETS 300 220.

This I-ETS covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the available frequencies.It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.It applies to short range devices: with an antenna connection and/or with an integral antenna; for alarms, telecommand, telemetry, etc., applications; with or without speech; operating on radio frequencies between 25 MHz and 1 000 MHz, with power levels up to 500 mW, radiated or terminated.This I-ETS covers fixed stations, mobile stations and portable stations. It applies also to Low Power Devices (LPD), as defined in the CEPT Recommendation T/R 01-04 [6]. In this I-ETS basic requirements are given for the different frequency bands, channel separation etc., where appropriate.
