Abstract: An ignition system includes an ignition plug, a discharge power supply for applying a high voltage to the gap of the ignition plug, a high-frequency power supply for supplying a high-frequency current to the gap, a matching unit provided between the ignition plug and the high-frequency power supply, and a mixer through which currents output from the two power supplies flow. An oscillation frequency fs (Hz) which maximizes the current flowing between the matching unit and the mixer when spark discharge is generated and an oscillation frequency fo (Hz) which maximizes the current flowing between the matching unit and the mixer when spark discharge is not generated satisfy a relation fs/fo≧0.85. Thus, a current whose oscillation frequency is equal to the oscillation frequency fs flows between the matching unit and the mixer when spark discharge is not generated.
