Abstract

A device for controlling a power supply of a radio frequency ignition of a combustion engine, including: an interface that receives measurement signals of operating parameters of a combustion engine; an interface that outputs a control signal; a module that stores relationships between measurement signals and the frequency of a control signal to be generated; a module that determines the frequency of a control signal to be generated on the basis of measurement signals received on the reception interface and of the relationships stored; and a module that applies the control signal at the determined frequency.
