"Diffraction" is the technical term for what I was refering to.
It's a basic, undisputed principle of wave mechanics. An 850
mHz signal can track the earth's curvature better than a 2100
mHz one can.

That aint what mobile range is about.

Doesnt say anything about earth curvature.

What it does say about earth curvature aint
relevant to the two bands being discussed.

In most places, the curvature is lumpy. Diffraction makes a
difference.

The effect is commonly known as knife edge refraction

Nothing like your original silly claim.

In reality it doesnt with mobile phones.

Pity you get **** all of that with mobile phones.
Essentially because few mobile phones can see just one base.

SO prove me wrong wanker. if not knife edge refraction what is it known as ?

In the poor coverage areas that matter to this discussion, it's
quite common to be serviced by a single cell.

Just did.

There is no effect like that with mobile phones, like I said.

Bloody uncommon, actually.
And in those there isnt normally any 'knife edge' involved anyway.

Well, if you say so.

?... the theory of radio propagation informs us that free space
losses, diffraction losses and absorption losses are all
expected to increase with frequency, and hence to be more
pronounced in the PCS (1900 MHz) band than in the Cellular (850
MHz) band. These theoretical predictions have been confirmed by
empirical studies in a variety of real world environments."
