The transponder signals are received by a detector near the ignition, which interprets the serial number from the transmission. If the numbers match, the car starts. Transponder keys are found in all cars produced in the last two decades.

They are also utilized in airplanes. Air traffic control utilizes these to identify friendly aircraft with an encoded signal known as IFF (Identification friend or foe). Some airplanes are equipped with mode C or mode S transponders which transmit the identifying codes and altitude information to ATC. They also have collision avoidance systems.
