The choke inductor is composed of several paralleled low-current inductors with small parasitics placed in a distributed manner. High-frequency gain-limiting parasitic shunt capacitors of these inductors are absorbed by the series inductors already present between the transistor drain terminals of the distributed amplifier. The measurement results of a 2-18-GHz DPA designed using a distributed choke inductor with an equivalent dc resistance of 0.32 Omega are given.enCC BYhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Choke inductorDistributed power amplifier (DPA)GaNMonolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC)Nonuniform DPA (NDPA)Article10.1109/LMWT.2022.3233061
