§ 74.401 Definitions.
Associated broadcasting station ( s ). The broadcasting station or
stations with which a remote pickup broadcast station or system is
licensed as an auxiliary and with which it is principally used.
Authorized bandwidth. The occupied or necessary bandwidth, whichever is
greater, authorized to be used by a station.
Automatic relay station. A remote pickup broadcast base station which
is actuated by automatic means and is used to relay transmissions
between remote pickup broadcast base and mobile stations, between
remote pickup broadcast mobile stations and from remote pickup
broadcast mobile stations to broadcasting stations. (Automatic
operation is not operation by remote control.)
Carrier power. The average power at the output terminals of a
transmitter (other than a transmitter having a suppressed, reduced or
controlled carrier) during one radio frequency cycle under conditions
of no modulation.
Mean power. The power at the output terminals of a transmitter during
normal operation, averaged over a time sufficiently long compared with
the period of the lowest frequency encountered in the modulation. A
time of 1/10 second during which the mean power is greatest will be
selected normally.
Necessary bandwidth. For a given class of emission, the minimum value
of the occupied bandwidth sufficient to ensure the transmission of
information at the rate and with the quality required for the system
employed, under specified conditions. Emissions useful for the good
functioning of the receiving equipment, as for example, the emission
corresponding to the carrier of reduced carrier systems, shall be
included in the necessary bandwidth.
Occupied bandwidth. The frequency bandwidth such that, below its lower
and above its upper frequency limits, the mean powers radiated are each
equal to 0.5 percent of the total mean power radiated by a given
emission.
Operational communications. Communications concerning the technical and
programming operation of a broadcast station and its auxiliaries.
Remote control operation. Operation of a base station by a properly
designated person on duty at a control position from which the
transmitter is not visible but that position is equipped with suitable
controls so that essential functions can be performed therefrom.
Remote pickup broadcast base station. A remote pickup broadcast station
authorized for operation at a specified location.
Remote pickup broadcast mobile station. A remote pickup broadcast
station authorized for use while in motion or during halts at
unspecified locations. (As used in this subpart, mobile stations
include hand-carried, pack-carried and other portable transmitters.)
Remote pickup broadcast stations. A term used in this subpart to
include both remote pickup broadcast base stations and remote pickup
broadcast mobile stations.
Remote pickup mobile repeater unit. A vehicular receiver-transmitter
repeater used to provide extended communications range for a low-power
hand-carried or pack-carried transmitter.
Station. As used in this subpart, each remote pickup broadcast
transmitter, and its associated accessory equipment necessary to the
radio communication function, constitutes a separate station.
Studio. Any room or series of rooms equipped for the regular production
of broadcast programs of various kinds. A broadcasting booth at a
stadium, convention hall, church, or other similar place is not
considered to be a studio.
Systems. A complete remote pickup broadcast facility consisting of one
or more mobile stations and/or one or more base stations authorized
pursuant to a single license.
