Distributed amplifier with improved stabilization

A distributed amplifier comprising:

• an input transmission line;
• an output transmission line;
• and
• a plurality of cascode amplifiers each coupled between the input transmission line and the output transmission line, wherein a first cascode amplifier of the plurality of cascode amplifiers comprises:
• three or more bipolar transistors arranged in a stack, wherein the three or more bipolar transistors comprises a first bipolar transistor, a second bipolar transistor, and a third bipolar transistor, wherein the first bipolar transistor includes a base coupled to the input transmission line, wherein the second bipolar transistor is positioned between the first bipolar transistor and the third bipolar transistor in the stack, and wherein the third bipolar transistor includes a collector coupled to the output transmission line,
• a first stabilization circuit coupled between a base of the third bipolar transistor and the collector of the third bipolar transistor, wherein the first stabilization circuit comprises a first resistor and a first capacitor electrically connected in series, and wherein the first stabilization circuit is configured to direct a radio frequency (RF) feedback signal from the collector of the third bipolar transistor to the base of the third bipolar transistor,
• a second resistor and a second capacitor electrically connected in series between the base of the third bipolar transistor and a ground node, and
• a second stabilization circuit, coupled to a base of the second bipolar transistor, comprising a third resistor and a third capacitor electrically connected in series.
