To reduce the complexity of direct radio frequency (RF) undersampling real-time spectrum monitoring in wireless Internet of Things (IoT) bands (920MHz, 2.4GHz, and 5 GHz bands), a design method of sampling frequencies is proposed in this paper. The Direct RF Undersampling receiver architecture enables the use of ADC with sampling clock lower frequency than receiving RF signal, but it needs RF signal identification signal processing from folded spectrums with multiple sampling clock frequencies. The proposed design method allows fewer sampling frequencies to be used than the conventional design method for continuous frequency range (D.C. to 5GHz-band). The proposed method reduced 2 sampling frequencies in wireless IoT bands case compared with the continuous range. The design result using the proposed method is verified by measurement.
