Disclosed is an apparatus for modifying a radio frequency signal. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a mixer, an amplifier module and an interface circuit. The mixer is configured to receive a first signal having a first frequency and a second signal having a second frequency, and to output a third signal which is a function of the first and second signals. The amplifier module includes a first amplifier stage and a second amplifier stage and is configured to amplify a communications signal which is then input into the mixer as the first signal. The first and second amplifier stages are in communication via a first signal path and a second signal path. The interface circuit is interposed between the mixer and the amplifier module, and inserted into the second signal path so that a DC bias current flows from the first amplifier stage through the interface module into the second amplifier stage.
