Theoretically, the conduction angle of all continuous-mode power amplifiers (PAs) is 180<jats:sup>\u2218<\/jats:sup>(class-B-biased). However, in practice, these PAs are always biased in class-AB condition. Thus, continuous-mode PAs biased in class-AB condition should be researched. This paper generalizes the theory of hybrid continuous mode (HCM) for implementing broadband power amplifiers. The intrinsic drain current waveform of HCM biased above the pinch-off point (conduction angle is larger than 180<jats:sup>\u2218<\/jats:sup>) is first derived. Then, the impedance space of the generalized HCM (class-AB-biased) is explored and analyzed. The conclusion is that the generalized HCM possesses a shifted fundamental impedance space along with the enlargement of conduction angle. For validating the proposed theory, a broadband PA working over 1.6\u20133.0[Formula: see text]GHz is implemented. Experimental results indicate that the designed BPA achieves a saturation power of 40.3\u201342.7[Formula: see text]dBm and a drain efficiency of 64.3\u201374.4%.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0218126620502369","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,28]],"date-time":"2020-02-28T15:49:01Z","timestamp":1582904941000},"page":"2050236","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Generalized Hybrid Continuous Mode for Designing Broadband Power Amplifiers"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8520-5384","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Decheng","family":"Gan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Information Engineering, Yangtze Normal University, Chongqing 408100, P.
