At the end of the 12 week period, each group was introduced in turn to the same six female rabbits and the ensuing sexual activity, or lack thereof, observed.
This is described in somewhat convoluted language and assumes some knowledge or normal rabbit mating behaviour. You can read all about it in the abstract of the paper.
The conclusion was that "The hormonal assays did not show any significant differences between the study groups. Therefore, the pulsed radiofrequency emitted by a conventional mobile phone, which was kept on a standby position, could affect the sexual behaviour in the rabbit."
UK newspaper The Guardian appears to have had access to the entire research paper and quotes more details, before digressing into an amusing, but unrelated, description of earlier research conducted by the same team: into undesirable side effects of penile implants - in humans, not rabbits.
