Abstract

L'invention propose une bougie (110) comprenant:
deux électrodes de génération de plasma (103, 106), un résonateur série (61) présentant une fréquence de résonance supérieure à 1MHz et comprenant :
- un condensateur (111) muni de deux bornes, et
- un bobinage inductif (112), le condensateur et le bobinage étant disposés en série, les électrodes étant connectées aux bornes respectives du condensateur.

L'invention permet de réduire les capacités parasites internes d'une bougie de génération de plasma et ainsi d'obtenir une bougie formant un résonateur série présentant un coefficient de surtension élevé.
