Excerpt from link: http://www.strixsystems.com/cshealthconcernsaboutwifi.aspx
"Whereas most cell phones have a peak power output of 2 Watts (some at 3), most Wi-Fi routers have a peak power output of less than 100mW which is typical of indoor access points, and 400 or 500mW for outdoor units, but unlike cell phones and their base stations, Wi-Fi devices do not communicate continuously. Dr. Kenneth Foster, a professor of bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, recently completed a study of Wi-Fi, taking over 350 measurements at 55 sites across four countries. According to his research, not only does Wi-Fi equipment emit less radiation under load, it does so in much smaller bursts. “When the networks were not being used, the duty cycle was 0.01 percent or so. That means that it is radiating power for 0.01 percent of the time.” While Wi-Fi and microwaves use the same 2.4 GHz frequency, a microwave oven sends much more intense emissions than a Wi-Fi deviceor cell phone."

http://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/hands-on/a-40-softwaredefined-radio says "Which brings us to regulatory issues. In some countries, it’s illegal to receive any frequency you don’t have a license
for, apart from public broadcast frequencies. In the United States, you’re free to pick up nearly all the signals you can receive. There are, however, important exceptions to this general rule, such
as a ban on listening to cellphone frequencies, or operating equipment capable of picking up police signals while you’re in a vehicle (the latter is permitted with a ham license)."

RTL-SDR can pick up any signal that would be receivable at your location anywhere between 24 MHz and 1700 MHz if you have the most common type of RTL-SDR (RTL2832 + R820T chipset) and a good antenna.
With software such as SDR# (my personal favorite), you can take a good look any of those signals. Will it DECODE cell signals? Definitely not. Also, doing so in the US is technically illegal. Things
may be different if you live in another country, so check your local laws.

Radiofrequency Sweep or Scanning
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_sweep
"Radio frequency sweep or "Frequency sweep" or "RF sweep" refer to scanning a radio frequency band for detecting signals being transmitted there. This is implemented using a radio receiver having a tunable receiving frequency. As the frequency of the receiver is changed to scan (sweep) a desired frequency band, a display indicates the power of the signals received at each frequency."

Il faut noter que la vitesse de balayage influence la résolution spectrale.
