\u00bfQu\u00e9 significa receptor?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Un receptor es un m\u00f3dulo o dispositivo de hardware utilizado para recibir se\u00f1ales de distintos tipos, seg\u00fan el contexto de la aplicaci\u00f3n. Puede recibir se\u00f1ales u ondas electromagn\u00e9ticas anal\u00f3gicas, o se\u00f1ales digitales a trav\u00e9s de medios cableados.<\/p>\n

El t\u00e9rmino receptor, sin embargo, se utiliza sobre todo en comunicaci\u00f3n, concretamente en comunicaci\u00f3n inal\u00e1mbrica en t\u00e9rminos de redes y comunicaci\u00f3n celular.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Es el dispositivo que recibe y descodifica las se\u00f1ales y luego las acondiciona o transforma en algo que otra m\u00e1quina u ordenador entienda.<\/p>\n

Definici\u00f3n de receptor<\/span><\/h2>\n

Un receptor se refiere sobre todo a la parte de un aparato que recibe se\u00f1ales; a menudo, el aparato act\u00faa como emisor y receptor (transceptor), como en el caso de los tel\u00e9fonos m\u00f3viles (radio celular) y las antenas utilizadas para la comunicaci\u00f3n de datos.<\/p>\n

Si el emisor y el receptor est\u00e1n en la misma localidad, el medio de transmisi\u00f3n suele ser un cable o hilo, pero las se\u00f1ales inal\u00e1mbricas tambi\u00e9n son viables para permitir un m\u00e9todo de transmisi\u00f3n de difusi\u00f3n a m\u00faltiples receptores.<\/p>\n

En el contexto de la comunicaci\u00f3n general, el receptor es el que recibe el elemento, ya sea en forma de discurso, una carta o un objeto.<\/strong> Este concepto impregna y se aplica a todas las formas de receptores en cualquier forma de tecnolog\u00eda, ya que todos ellos, sin excepci\u00f3n, tienen la capacidad de recibir algo que ha sido enviado por un transmisor en forma de ondas electromagn\u00e9ticas, se\u00f1ales el\u00e9ctricas, ondas sonoras o incluso luz.<\/p>\n

Un ejemplo de receptor es el m\u00f3dulo transceptor, que tambi\u00e9n sirve de transmisor para la comunicaci\u00f3n bidireccional de una instalaci\u00f3n de radio terrestre o una torre de telefon\u00eda m\u00f3vil.<\/p>\n

Utiliza su transceptor para enviar se\u00f1ales a un tel\u00e9fono m\u00f3vil,<\/strong> como voz, mensajes de texto y datos, y, a cambio, recibe el mismo tipo de se\u00f1ales de un tel\u00e9fono para que sean retransmitidas y recibidas por otras torres hasta llegar a su destino final.<\/p>\n

Lo mismo ocurre con la comunicaci\u00f3n entre un router<\/a> Wi-Fi<\/a> y un ordenador port\u00e1til<\/a> o un dispositivo m\u00f3vil; las se\u00f1ales se transmiten y reciben bidireccionalmente.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
