Article (1)

Thefollowingwordsandexpressionsshallhavethemeaningssetoutoppositethemunlessotherwiserequiredbythetext

Location

A location of a fixed station is defined through its exact geographical co-ordinates,which consist of latitude,longitudeandheightabovemeansealevel.Latitudeandlongitudeshallbegivenindegrees(°),minutes(‘)andfullseconds(‘’)whichallowtolocalisethestationwithinarangeofuncertaintyoflessthan30m.Thesevaluesmaybeexpressedinequivalentdecimalformataswell.“Heightabovemeansealevel”shallbegivenwithanaccuracyof10morless.

- Number of Locations

Thenumberoflocationsistobedeterminedasfollows:

a. In case of fixed stations, “number of locations” is the total amount of fixed stations at different sites(geographicallocations).

b. Incaseofmobilestations,“numberoflocations”referstothenumberofWilayatswherethemobilestationsarelicensedtobeoperated.AlistoftheWilayatscanbefoundinAnnexA.

- Governorates

governoratesaretobeunderstoodasthegovernoratesoftheSultanateofOman(asperAnnexB).

- Coverage Zone Factor

The coverage zone factor (CZF) is a measure for population density in aWilayat. There are three CZFscorresponding to high,medium, and low population density. TheCZF is determined by the location of thetransmittersite,irrespectiveofactualcoverage.

AlistindicatingtheassignmentofthePopulationDensitytotheWilayatsispresentedinAnnexA.

- Frequency

Frequency is definedas thenumberof periodsperunit of timeof a transmitter’s electromagneticemissionmeasuredinkHz,MHzorGHz.

- Bandwidth

- Power

Thepowerofatransmitter’selectromagneticemission,measuredindBWisdefinedasfollows:

-Relationsbetweentheabovedefinitions:

ERP = EIRP – 2.15dB

EIRP = ERP + 2.15dB

Note:Theabovevaluesareonlyapplicableforthemaindirectionofradiation.

Operation Modes

1. Simplex Operation

2. Duplex Operation

Modeofoperationwheretransmissionispossiblesimultaneouslyinbothdirectionsofatelecommunicationchannel.

3. Semi-Duplex Operation

Modeofoperationwhichissimplexoperationatoneendofthecircuitandduplexoperationattheother.

4. Frequency Division Duplex

Modeofoperationwhichusesdifferentchannels, i.e.different frequencies,and is thereforecomparable toduplexoperationfromtheviewpointoffrequencyusage.

5. Time Division Duplex
