Annotation: The developed and manufactured plasma radiator of acoustic waves is described. The radiator, which operates on the princi ple of one-electrode high-frequency flare discharge, has a high fidelity of broadband acoustic signal, unattainable for electrodynamic radiators. The radiator frequency response function is absolutely smooth in the frequency range up to several MHz. It allows for the generator to be considered as a reference one.
