A model is outlined to explain the multifrequency continua of active galactic nucleus (AGN) and QSOs based on synchrotron and Compton emission of secondary electrons. 3C 273 is used as a particular guide for observational constraints since it so well observed from radio to gamma-ray photon energies. In this model the large blue bump and blue bump Compton components arise in the innermost region near a supermassive compact object with strong magnetic field. Infrared synchrotron emission and infrared Compton components arise in the low-field region. The model results in bumps, wiggles, and inflections in the multifrequency continuum that correspond to those observed.
