Abstract

See full text

A radiofrequency ignition device for an internal combustion engine, including: a supply circuit, including a transformer, a secondary winding of which is connected to a resonator including two electrodes configured to generate a spark so as to initiate combustion in a cylinder of the engine upon an ignition command, a measurement capacitor, connected in series between the secondary winding of the transformer and the resonator, and a measurement circuit measuring ionization current of the combustion gases, connected to the measurement capacitor and including a voltage generator with low input impedance, to provide a polarization voltage of the measurement capacitor so as to generate the ionization current, a first amplifier amplifying the ionization current and a measuring mechanism measuring a voltage representative of the amplified ionization current and connected at an output of the first amplifier.
