A Science of the Total Environment pilot study deployed 20 frequency-selective sensors at fixed indoor and outdoor sites in ten European countries for 17 months. The authors report recurring day-night patterns across four mobile-communication bands, including lower nighttime field strengths in the 806 MHz and 1842 MHz bands.

"Twenty frequency-selective sensors were deployed at fixed indoor and outdoor locations in ten European countries, continuously measuring E-field (electric field) strengths in four mobile communication frequency bands (806 MHz, 942 MHz, 1842 MHz, and 3625 MHz) over a period of 17 months with a temporal resolution of 1 s."

"A strong and recurring diurnal pattern was observed across the four frequency bands."

— Han Van Bladel et al.

"The highest day-night contrasts occurred in the 806 MHz and 1842 MHz bands, where nighttime values decreased by 35.1% and 48.4%, respectively compared to daytime values."
