Abstract

A method of fast start and/or fast termination of a radio frequency resonator, which has a coil, a capacitor and two switches with internal resistance wherein one end of the switches is connected to a junction of the coil and the capacitor where a RF voltage is provided, and another end of each switch is connected to high voltage power supplies with opposite polarities, a fast start being achieved by closing one of the switches for a short period of time for fast start, and a fast termination being obtained by closing both switches for a while.
