For the nRF7000/nRF7002, what is the power consumption of a wifi scan? (for a positioning application)

Hi,
In a scan event, you are effectively in RX for a given period (depending on how long you scan for).
Here is the electrical specifications for RX (note, slightly different current consumption for 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz):
Depending on how many beacons the nRF receives, you will also have active probe of the AP. Here's an example of scanning and finding 11 APs within my range:
You can use the "shell" sample to actively scan.
Kind regards,
Håkon
