What is difference between transducer and transmitter?

Answer 1

today the general rule of thumb is that if the pressure sensor has a millivolt (e.g. 30mV or 100mV) or non-amplified output it is a pressure transducer. If the pressure sensor has a voltage (e.g. 0-5Vdc, 0-10Vdc or 1-5Vdc) output it is an amplified voltage output pressure transducer. If a pressure sensor has a current loop output (e.g. 2 wire 4-20mA or 3 wire 0/4-20mA) it is a pressure transmitter. Simply we can tell as Transducer: Any physical Quantity is converted into Electrical Signal. Transmitter: to make the amplified RF electrical signal to radiation with help of Electric and maganetic signal.

Answer 2

A sensor is a device that responds to a physical stimulus (as heat, light, sound, pressure, magnetism, or a particular motion) and transmits a resulting impulse (a signal relating to the quantity being measured). For example, certain sensors convert temperature into a change in resistance. A transducer is a device that is actuated by power from one system and supplies power usually in another form to a second system. For example a loudspeaker is a transducer that transforms electrical signals into sound energy.
Sensor can be considered as a transducer that converts a particular form of energy (light,heat,ultrasound etc.) to electricity!

Answer 3

Sensor

Transducer

A sensor detects physical characteristics for signal processing

A transducer converts energy from one form to another.

a sensor can only convert it in one direction

A transducer converts energy in two directions

Sensors tend to be more sensitive

Less sensitive

Answer 4

a transducer is a device that converts one form of energy into another form for say light emitting diodes that converts electric energy into light energy ,

whereas sensors are those devices that sense the surroundings and feedback the data which is manipulated to give the output for example touch sensors in bikes and cars that can sense the touch and activates the sirens ...

Answer 5

tranducer is device which convert the signal from one domain to another domain,, like sound energy signal in electric signal or vice versa....

transponder is device that simply receives the signal,,then performs the operation on that signal like amplification if required,, after that transmit that signal... it does not change the domain of signal.

Answer 6

the main difference is that a sensor is a input device and an actuator is output device

Answer 7

A: a transducer will transmit as a source the output. A sensor is a monitoring device.
