Abstract
Adapting scanning of frequency channels of different or varying widths to collect wideband spectrum data is disclosed. Scanning methods and/or configurations are modified based upon the type and signal strength of the interferers present or expected in the spectrum. The system includes: selecting a portion for scanning, wherein the portion includes contiguous and non-contiguous segments, partitioning the selected portion into a first plurality of channels, where at least two of the plurality of channels have different widths, each of the first plurality of channels including contiguous or non-contiguous segments; during a first scan of the selected portion, scanning the selected portion of the radio frequency spectrum at least by scanning a first channel with a first width and scanning a second channel with a second width that is different than the first width; and based on the first scan, collecting data representing the selected portion of the radio frequency spectrum.
