A mixer with dynamic intermediate frequency in a RF front-end to
dynamically adjust the intermediate frequency and method thereof are
described. The radio-frequency front-end comprises a band-pass filter, an
amplifier, a first mixer unit and a second mixer unit. The band-pass
filter receives first RF signal to generate second RF signal. The
amplifier amplified the second RF signal and output third RF signal
(S.sub.RF). The first mixer unit is used to mix the third RF signal
(S.sub.RF) with first frequency signal (S.sub.1) to down convert the
third RF signal (S.sub.RF) to an intermediate frequency (IF) and outputs
an IF signal (S.sub.IF). The second mixer unit is connected to the first
mixer unit in a cascode configuration and has I-channel and Q-channel
mixers to transform IF signal (S.sub.IF) to an I-channel signal (S.sub.I)
and a Q-channel signal (S.sub.Q). The radio-frequency front-end further
comprises a dividing unit for receiving an oscillator signal (S.sub.0) to
generate the first, the second and the third frequency signals (S.sub.1,
S.sub.2, and S.sub.3) such that the frequency of the first frequency
signal (S.sub.1) substantially equals the frequency of the oscillator
signal (S.sub.0) divided by two's power of a first non-negative integer
(N.sub.1), the frequency of the second and the third frequency signals
(S.sub.2, and S.sub.3) substantially both equals the frequency of the
oscillator signal (S.sub.0) divided by two's power of a second
non-negative integer (N.sub.2), and the second frequency signal (S.sub.2)
is approximately 90 degree out of phase with respect to the third
frequency signal (S.sub.3).
