Electronic device that sends signals
A piece of electronic equipment that sends radio, TV, or data signals to another device far away.
Vzorec užití:
[a transmitter] sends [signals] to [a receiver or network]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse a "transmitter" with a "receiver". A transmitter sends out signals; a receiver takes them in. Another mistake is using "transmitter" for any device that communicates, even when a more natural term is "router", "phone mast", or "Wi‑Fi hotspot"; "transmitter" usually refers to the part that actually sends the signal.
Synonyma
sender (A more general term for something that sends signals or messages; not limited to electronic devices.)
Antonyma
receiver (A receiver takes in the signals that a transmitter sends out, so it performs the opposite function.)

Person or thing that passes something on
A person or thing that carries and passes information, ideas, or other things from one person or place to another.
Vzorec užití:
[someone/something] is a transmitter of [information/ideas/disease]
Častá chyba:
Learners often prefer more common words like "carrier", "source", or "messenger". "Transmitter" in this sense is more formal and is often used in academic or scientific writing. It is not normally used for everyday actions like passing a message to a friend, where "messenger" or "go-between" would be more natural.
Synonyma
carrier (Often used for people, animals, or things that pass on disease or information; slightly more common in everyday and medical contexts than "transmitter" in this sense.)
Antonyma
recipient (A recipient receives something (like information or a gift), whereas a transmitter passes it on to others.)
