Question
Explain the function of a repeater in a communication system.
Solution
A repeater is used for extending the range of a communication system. It consists of a receiver and a transmitter. The receiver of a repeater collects the signal from the transmitter of another repeater and after amplifying, it retransmits the signal. Sometimes, it also changes the carrier frequency of the pick-up signal before transmitting it to the receiver.
