In this paper,the basic situation of electro-hydraulic effect and plasma sound source is briefly introduced,and two groups of plasma sound source data in the different groups of plasma sound source data collected by the experiments are selected for analysis. The single pulse acoustic signal and the pulse crosstalk signal collected by the experiments are analyzed in time domain. The energy amplitude of the signal in different time are calculated by MATLAB software. Then,the signal in frequency domain is analyzed,and the energy distribution of the signal in frequency domain is analyzed by FFT transformation. Then spectral analysis is conducted on signals in frequency domain,and PSD is used to analyze the energy distribution information at different frequencies. The conclusion is drawn that the frequency range of the plasma sound source signal is wide and the low frequency energy is large. Finally,the application prospect of the plasma sound source in underwater acoustic field is analyzed in combination with the frequency and the energy distribution of the plasma sound source signal.
