There are many different types of injectors, obviously diesel, propane, nat gas and gasoline are different.
Among gasoline, there are the throttle body injectors, port injectors, and direct injection (starting to become popular with OEMs).
I expect you are asking about port injection. My understanding is there are 2 types, "high impedance/resistance" type and "low impedance" type.
I have only seen 2 wire solenoids for automotive injectors (the newest diesel injectors have gone to a 4 wire control). They have many different valve designs and spray patterns.
Among the low impedance, there is either voltage control or current control of the solenoid. These waveforms are built into the ECM drivers. I think the source voltage is 12v, its not ramped to a higher voltage like the spark plugs. The voltage may have a PWM form to control current.
In summary, it is a somewhat complex signal sent at the appropriate time, centered on intake opening. The wave is controlled for rush in and hold current and voltage to maintain solenoid life and to produce quick response times.
