RE: transmitter vs transducer
I prefer to think of the transducer as the primary element, "sending" a signal to a process transmitter.
RE: transmitter vs transducer
A transducer is then an instrument which transmits raw sensor data for remote processing. In the case of a vibrational density transducer this is a frequency. Frequency is proportional to density but must be corrected for a number of effects including temperature, velocity of sound, viscosity, pressure etc. This is then done in remote electronics.
RE: transmitter vs transducer
transmitter: ICman is right, sometimes words are used indistinctly, as in telephony, the carbon microphone that converts sound-waves into audio-frequency signals is called a transmitter, and by the above description it would be a transducer. A radio transmitter would be defined as the equipment used for generating and amplifying a radio-frequency carrier signal, modulating the carrier signal with intelligence, and feeding the modulated carrier to an antenna for radiation into space as electromagnetic waves.
