    • A pulse generator circuit (20a) configured to apply a current pulse to two output terminals (204, 206) . The pulse generator circuit (20a) comprises an LC resonant circuit (Lr, Cr) comprising an inductance (Lr) and a capacitance (Cr) connected in series between a first node (210) and a negative input terminal (202). The pulse generator circuit (20a) comprises moreover a charge circuit (220) configured to charge the capacitance (Cr) via a supply voltage ( Vcc ), a first electronic switch (S1) configured to selectively short-circuit the two output terminals (204, 206), a second electronic switch (S2) configured to selectively connect the two output terminals (204, 206) in parallel with the LC resonant circuit (Lr, Cr) and a control circuit (208a) configured to drive the first (S1) and the second (S2) electronic switch. Specifically, the control circuit (208a) repeats the following steps during each switching cycle:
      - for a first time-interval ( T 1 ) close the first electronic switch (S1) and open the second electronic switch (S2), wherein the capacitance (Cr) is charged via the charge circuit (220);
      - for a following second time-interval ( T 2 ) close both the first (S1) and the second (S2) electronic switch, wherein the LC resonant circuit (Lr, Cr) oscillates with a given resonant period (Tr);
      - for a following third time-interval ( T 3 , T ON ) open the first electronic switch (S1) and close the second electronic switch (S2), wherein the LC resonant circuit (Lr, Cr) provides a current ( i cr ) to the two output terminals (204, 206); and
      - for a following fourth time-interval ( T 2 ) close both the first (S1) and the second (S2) electronic switch, wherein the LC resonant circuit (Lr, Cr) oscillates with the given resonant period (Tr).
