Zusammenfassung:An ignition system (10) comprises a high voltage transformer (12) comprising a primary winding (12.1) and a secondary winding (12.2). A primary resonant circuit (26) is formed by the primary winding (12.1) and a primary circuit capacitance (24). A secondary resonant circuit (16) is formed by an ignition plug (14), as a load, the secondary winding (12.2); the ignition plug (14) being represented by a secondary circuit capacitance (18) and a secondary circuit load resistance (Rp) put in parallel. Said load resistance value varies during an ignition cycle. The primary resonant circuit (26) and the secondary resonant circuit (16) have a common mode resonance frequency (fc) and a differential mode resonance frequency (fd). A controller (28) is configured to cause a drive circuit (22) to drive the primary winding at a frequency, which is either the common-mode resonance frequency (fc) or the differential mode resonance frequency (fd) and is connected to a feed-back circuit (50) to adapt the frequency of the primary winding to the variable load resistance.
