Q9 of 26 Page 1

Write the function of a (i) transducer and (ii) repeater in a communication system.

(i) TRANSDUCER: A transducer is a device used for converting one form of energy to another. Eg. A Microphone converting sound energy to electrical energy.

(ii) REPEATER: A repeater receives a signal from a transmitter, amplifies the signal and then re-transmits it to receiver.
