Abstract

A circuit arrangement is described for generating pulses for maintaining the oscillations of a resonance circuit after termination of an outside stimulation of the oscillations by means of an HF carrier oscillation. The circuit arrangement comprises an energy storage element (28) chargeable by the HF carrier oscillation to a supply voltage value. An amplitude detector circuit (44) serves to generate a trigger circuit when the oscillation amplitude of the resonance circuit (12) drops beneath the supply voltage value. A first switching element (T2) supplies the oscillations of the resonance circuit (12) under the control of the trigger signal to a delay circuit (34, 53, 58, 54, 62, 68) which at its output furnishes switching pulses with a predetermined phase position with respect to the oscillations of the resonance circuit (12). A second switching element (T1), for the duration of each switching pulse, enables the supply of energy from the energy storage element (28) to the resonance circuit (12).
