Transponder signals are picked up by a receiver close to the ignition, which decodes the serial number from the transmission. If the numbers match, the car starts. Most cars manufactured in the last two decades use transponder keys.

They are also utilized in airplanes. Air traffic control utilizes them to identify friendly aircraft with a coded signal, IFF (Identification of Friend or Foe).
