Transducer is :
A transducer is a device that convert one form of energy
to other form.
transducer is a device, which provides a usable output in
response to specific input measured, which may be
physical or mechanical quantity, property or condition.
The transducer may be mechanical, electrical, magnetic,
optical, chemical, acoustic, thermal nuclear, or a
combination of any two or more of these.

Block diagram :
Transducer contains two parts that are closely related
to each other i.e. the sensing element and
transduction element.
The sensing element is called as the sensor. It is device
producing measurable response to change in physical
conditions.
The transduction element convert the sensor output to
suitable electrical form.
Characteristics:
Ruggedness
Linearity
Repeatability
High Output Signal Quality
High stability and reliability
Speed of response
Characteristics:
-Ruggedness. It should be capable of
withstanding overload and some safety
arrangement should be provided for
overload protection.
-Linearity. Its input-output characteristics
should be linear and it should produce these
characteristics in symmetrical way.
Characteristics:
-Repeatability. It should reproduce same
output signal when the same input signal is
applied again and again under fixed
environmental conditions e.g. temperature,
pressure, humidity etc.
Characteristics:
-High Output Signal Quality. The quality of output
signal should be good i.e. the ratio of the signal to
the noise should be high and the amplitude of
the output signal should be enough.
- High Reliability and Stability. It should give
minimum error in measurement for temperature
variations, vibrations and other various changes in
surroundings.
