Exemplary systems, apparatus, and methods described herein may improve a scan process for near field communications, such as IEEE 802.15.4. The improvements may include, during the scan process, performing one of increasing a current of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO)/digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) of a second wireless device, reducing a bandwidth of a phased locked loop, increasing the bandwidth of the phased locked loop, changing a reference frequency of the phased locked loop, or dithering the reference frequency.
