Transceiver is a contraction of transmitter/receiver, used in local area network (LAN) and radio terminology
A combination of the words TRANSmitter and reCEIVER A transceiver is the set of electronics that send and receive signals on the Ethernet media system Transceivers may be small outboard devices, or may be built into an Ethernet port Also called Media Attachment Unit, or MAU
A combination transmitter and receiver in a single housing, with some components being used by both units See transponder
{i} modem in a wireless network which can transmit and receive data through radio or infrared signals (Computers)
A combination of the words transmitter and receiver A transceiver is the set of electronics that sends and receives signals on a media system Transceivers may be internal or external Sometimes called a MAU
A transceiver is a generic term describing a device that can both transmit and receive In IEEE 802 local area network (LAN) standards, a transceiver consists of a transmitter, receiver, power converter, and, for CSMA/CD LANs, collision detector and jabber detector capabilities The transmitter receives signals from an attached terminal's network interface card (NIC) and transmits them to the coaxial cable or other LAN medium The receiver receives signals from the medium and transmits them via the transceiver cable and NIC to the attached terminal The jabber detector is a timer circuit that protects the LAN from a continuously transmitting terminal
A device that combines both functions of the transmitter and receiver, thereby providing both output and input interfaces
A combination of a transmitter and a receiver having a common frequency control and usually enclosed in a single package Extensively used in two-way radio communications at all frequencies
(Transmitter/Receiver) - A Device that receives and sends signals over a medium In networks, it is generally used to allow for the connection between two different types of cable connectors, such as AUI and RJ-45
An AUI (Attachment Unit Interface) device for receiving and transmitting data that often provides collision detection as well
A transceiver allows a station to transmit and receive to/from the common medium In addition, Ethernet transceivers detect collisions on the medium and provide electrical isolation between stations 10Base2 and 10Base5 transceivers attach directly to the common bus media, though the former usually use an internal transceiver built-onto the controller circuitry with a "T" connector to access the cable, while the latter use a separate, external transceiver and an AUI (or transceiver) cable to connect to the controller 10BaseF, 10BaseT and FOIRL also usually use internal transceivers Having said that, there also also external transceivers for 10Base2, 10BaseF, 10BaseT and FOIRL that can connect externally to the controller's AUI port, either directly or via an AUI cable (4)
A device that performs, within one chassis, both telecommunication transmitting and receiving functions
These units contain both a transmitter and a receiver Some transceivers receive a signal of one type (such as RF from a hand-held remote control) and re-transmit it as another type (such as a Powerline Carrier signal that will control a light)
The physical device that interfaces between the network and the local node When talking about networks, the term transceiver generally refers to any connector that actively converts signals between the network and the local node An example of a transceiver is a MAU
A device consisting of a transmitter and a receiver that transmits and receives signals
