Lähetinvastaanotin, or transceiver in English, is a device that combines both a transmitter and a receiver in a single unit. This integration allows for bidirectional communication, meaning it can both send and receive signals. Transceivers are fundamental components in many communication systems, from simple walkie-talkies to complex military and civilian radio equipment. The transmitter part converts electrical signals into radio waves for transmission through an antenna, while the receiver part picks up incoming radio waves via the same or a separate antenna and converts them back into electrical signals for processing. The ability to perform both functions within one device significantly reduces size, weight, and cost compared to using separate transmitter and receiver units. This makes transceivers ideal for mobile applications and situations where space or power is limited. They operate across a wide range of frequencies, depending on their intended application, and are crucial for technologies like mobile phones, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and radar systems. The core principle involves modulating information onto a carrier wave for transmission and demodulating it upon reception.
