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
Modeofoperationwheretransmissionismadepossiblealternatelyineachdirectionofatelecommunicationchannel,forexample,bymeansofmanualcontrol.

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
