MCQ IN COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Detailed explanation-1: -In telecommunications, a repeater is an electronic device that receives a signal and retransmits it. Repeaters are used to extend transmissions so that the signal can cover longer distances or be received on the other side of an obstruction.

Detailed explanation-2: -A type of network device that amplifies received signal so it can be transmitted over greater distance without loss in quality is called: Repeater.

Detailed explanation-3: -A repeater is an electronic device that amplifies the signal it receives. You can think of repeater as a device which receives a signal and retransmits it at a higher level or higher power so that the signal can cover longer distances, more than 100 meters for standard LAN cables. Repeaters work on the Physical layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Repeaters are devices in computer networks that operate at the physical layer of the OSI model, amplifying or regenerating an incoming signal before retransmitting it.

Detailed explanation-5: -Repeaters are network devices operating at physical layer of the OSI model that amplify or regenerate an incoming signal before retransmitting it. They are incorporated in networks to expand its coverage area. They are also known as signal boosters.
