A transceiver is a device that can transmit and receive signals from the same unit. Transceivers can send out signals and receive returned signals from the same line. In networking, a transceiver performs both transmitting and receiving functions. In networking a transceiver is also referred to as a MAU (Medium Attachment Units). An example of a transceiver in electronics is a CB radio or walkie-talkie.
Transceivers are made with circuitry that picks up signals from the antenna, translates those signals, and processes those signals just as a radio would. The other part of the transceiver has a module or circuit that takes a created signal from inside the unit, process the signal and sends it out over the antenna for transmission to another transceiver or receiver.
Electronic components have a big part in producing electronic products. Factories used many components everyday when engaging in assembling boards, or their electronic products.
