In this brief, a continuum of novel closed-form solutions is derived for class-E power amplifiers (PAs). It is analytically proven that the class-E zero voltage/zero voltage derivative switching conditions can be satisfied for an arbitrarily selected reactive second harmonic switch impedance (Z2S). The higher order harmonic currents are terminated capacitively. The conventional class-E, class-E/F2, and class-EF2modes are thus subsets of the continuum. The arbitrary selection ofZ2Senables robust waveform engineering for performance optimization in specific applications. Furthermore, the theoretical derivation provides important possibilities for wideband class-E PA synthesis.
