Chapter 5 Transducers

This document provides an introduction to transducers. It defines a transducer as a device that converts a physical quantity into a proportional electrical signal, such as voltage, current, or frequency. Transducers have two main components: a sensing element that detects the physical quantity, and a transduction element that converts the sensor output into an electrical signal. Transducers have advantages like easy transmission and amplification of electrical outputs. They are classified based on the type of physical quantity they convert and are widely used in applications like engines, ultrasound machines, speakers, and antennas to convert between different signal types.

Definition of Transducer
A device which converts a physical quantity into the proportional
electrical signal is called a transducer. The electrical signal produced
may be a voltage, current or frequency. The process of transforming
signal from one form to other is called transduction. The
transduction element transforms the output of the sensor to an
electrical output, as shown in the Fig.

A transducer will have basically two main components.


1. Sensing Element: The physical quantity or its rate of change is
sensed and responded to by this part of the transistor.
2. Transduction Element: The output of the sensing element is
passed on to the transduction element. This element is
responsible for converting the non-electrical signal into its
proportional electrical signal.

ADVANTAGES OF ELECTRICAL
TRANSDUCERS

* Electrical output can be amplified to any desired level


* Low power requirement
* Easy transmission
* Suitable with digital control
* Low cost
* Small size
* Reduced friction effect
* The output can be modified as per requirements of the indicating
or controlling equipment

Applications of Transducer
* It is used for detecting the movement of muscles which is called
acceleromyograph.
* The transducer measures the load on the engines.
* It is used as a sensor for knowing the engine knock.
* The transducers measure the pressure of the gas and liquid by
converting it into an electrical signal.
* It converts the temperature of the devices into an electrical
signal or mechanical work.
* The transducer is used in the ultrasound machine. It receives the
sound waves of the patient by emitting their sound waves and
pass the signal to the CPU.
* The transducer is used in the speaker for converting the
electrical signal into acoustic sound.
* Itis used in the antenna for converting the electromagnetic
waves into an electrical signal.
