“…Therefore, this paper employs an extended continuous class mode and proposes an impedance area constraint method based on reflection coefficient circles to determine the feasible solution space for both fundamental and harmonic impedances, meeting the requirements of wideband and high efficiency. By introducing a multiobjective evolutionary algorithm [30] and combining it with the objective function strategy based on reflection coefficient circles, the output matching network (OMN) is optimized. The designed continuous class PA can achieve a saturation efficiency exceeding 68% within the frequency range of 1.5-2.6 GHz.…”

This paper proposes a high-efficiency wideband continuous-class power amplifier (PA) optimizing the fundamental and harmonic impedance areas to achieve wideband and efficient operation. Unlike conventional impedance area constraint methods, reflection coefficient circles are used to characterize the desired fundamental and harmonic impedance areas, thereby increasing the number of feasible solutions in the output matching network (OMN) optimization. Additionally, a multi-objective algorithm is employed to optimize the OMN, enabling the PA to achieve high efficiency over wide frequency band. To validate the feasibility of the proposed method, a continuous-class PA operating in the frequency range of 1.5-2.6 GHz is designed and measured. The results demonstrate that the PA achieves a saturated output power of 40-41.5 dBm with a corresponding gain around 10 dB. Maximum efficiency ranging from 68% to 75% can be achieved within the operating frequency range.
