Abstract
Fast network scanning is enabled by an accessory for a mobile phone. The accessory captures a wideband spectrum via a software defined radio that is independent of the mobile phone itself. The accessory consumes less than 3 W while verifying multiple base stations, of various standards, in an area. To achieve such a low power consumption, the accessory dynamically controls frequency, gain and bandwidth according to a prioritization of processing threads and a target scanning speed.
