transmit
Pass a signal
To transmit is to send or pass something from one place or person to another.
Radio stations transmit signals; diseases transmit through contact; parents transmit traits to children.
The word implies a sender, a receiver, and something that travels between them: The satellite transmits data to ground stations.
Transmission covers both the act and the mechanism—a car's transmission transfers engine power to the wheels.
