Short Description of Topic
Transducers are devices that convert one form of energy to another.
The Main Idea
A transducer, in general, is any device that converts one form energy to another. Usually this is some signal in one form of energy that is converted to signal in a different form of energy. There are many types of transducers, and the topic does incorporate many different concepts from physics and spans many fields, so this page will be only focusing on one type of transducers, bidirectional transducers, and two important applications of it, microphones, loudspeakers, and antennas.
Bidirectional Transducers
In short, a bidirectional, or sometimes also called bilateral transducer, is a transducer that can convert some form energy from to another, such as an electric signal to an acoustical signal, but can also convert the other way, such as an acoustical signal to an electrical signal. Hence the name bidirectional.
