After exit day there will be three versions of this legislation to consult for different purposes. The legislation.gov.uk version is the version that applies in the UK. The EU Version currently on EUR-lex is the version that currently applies in the EU i.e you may need this if you operate a business in the EU.
The web archive version is the official version of this legislation item as it stood on exit day before being published to legislation.gov.uk and any subsequent UK changes and effects applied. The web archive also captured associated case law and other language formats from EUR-Lex.
This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
‘equivalent isotropicalally radiated power (EIRP)’ means the product of the power supplied to the antenna and the antenna gain in a given direction relative to an isotropic antenna (absolute or isotropic gain);
‘antenna system’ means a hardware part of a small-area wireless access point that radiates radio frequency energy for the purpose of providing wireless connectivity to end users;
‘active antenna system (AAS)’ means an antenna system where the amplitude or phase, or both, between antenna elements is continually adjusted resulting in an antenna pattern that varies in response to short term changes in the radio environment; this excludes long-term beam shaping such as fixed electrical down tilt; in a small-area wireless access point equipped with an AAS, the latter is integrated as part of the small-area wireless access point;
‘indoor’ means any space, including transportation vehicles, that has a ceiling or roof or any fixed or moveable structure or device which is capable of covering all that space, and except for doors, windows and passageways, is wholly enclosed by walls or sides, either permanently or temporarily, regardless of the type of material used for the roof, wall or sides, and regardless of whether the structure is permanent or temporary;
‘outdoor’ means any space which is not indoor.
