Abstract

A method is performed for influencing the signal shape of an output signal of an RF power resonance amplifier and an RF excitation arrangement including an RF power resonance amplifier. A basic signal of a basic frequency is amplified and modulated with a modulation signal, and an output oscillating circuit of the RF power resonance amplifier is tuned to a frequency in the range of the basic frequency, and is excited with the basic signal during normal operation. At times that are or can be predetermined, the output oscillating circuit is driven with a driving signal that differs from the basic signal, for a time period that is or can be predetermined. This reduces the dying down time of the output oscillating circuit and increases the steepness of the output signal edges.
