Receiving device
A receiving device is an apparatus used in communications technology with which (mostly electromagnetic ) signals can be received. The usual technical term is "recipient", although this term has a different meaning in other specialist areas.
Mostly used in connection with the reception of high-frequency signals: These devices amplify the signals that are picked up by an antenna and convert them with the help of electronic circuits into, for example, audible signals ( radio ), visible signals ( television ), digital signals ( radio telex , WLAN , GPS etc.) or commands for radio remote control .
In a broader sense, there are also receivers for optical signals and acoustic signals.
