Abstract

An engine control devicethat cannot output a control signal to an electromagnetic wave emission deviceis used to emit electromagnetic wave at an appropriate timing from the deviceto a combustion chamber. A signal processing deviceis connected to the engine control devicethat outputs an ignition signal for instructing an ignition deviceof the engineto ignite fuel air mixture in the combustion chamberof the engine. The signal processing device, upon receiving the ignition signal, outputs to the electromagnetic wave emission devicean electromagnetic wave drive signal that determines based on the ignition signal an emission period, which is a period for the electromagnetic wave emission deviceto emit an electromagnetic wave to the combustion chamber, so that an ignition operation is performed during the emission period of the electromagnetic wave.
