A transceiver is like a two-way talker in radios. It can both send and receive messages. On the other hand, a transponder is more like a clever listener at the airport. It listens for a specific signal and then responds with its own message automatically
A transceiver combines a transmitter and a receiver in a single unit. It can both send and receive information, typically in the same frequency band. A transponder primarily responds to an external signal by transmitting a pre-programmed response. It typically does not initiate communication independently.
