Repeater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (344 words)
Repeaters are often used in trans-continental and trans-oceanic cables, because the attenuation (signal loss) over such distances would be completely unacceptable without them.
Repeaters are used in both copper-wire cables carrying electrical signals, and in fibre optics carrying light - see Optical communications repeater.
Repeaters are also used extensively in broadcasting, where they are known as translators or boosters.
Repeater (Linktionary term) (300 words)
Repeaters on analog transmission lines amplify the incoming signal as is. If the signal is distorted in some way, the distortion is boosted with the rest of the signal.
A digital repeater will convert the incoming analog to digital and then forward it as a clean digital signal, although this technique is prone to error if the incoming signal is distorted.
Repeaters are used to extend a network segment to reach distant nodes.
