Immobilisers

As car immobilisers became more popular in the late nineties car thefts began to drop, but thieves are always seeking ways to circumvent security systems. They were able to get through the early immobiliser systems using scanners to locate the transponder's code chip, and then copying it to a blank key, but since then, technology has advanced and they've had to devise new ways to get around them.

This allows for the separation between aircraft and identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers when it is operating a radar system. The information that the transponder relays to air traffic control varies according to the type of system.

Transponders are also present in spacecrafts and satellites to connect with Earth systems, such as cell phone networks and other networks of communication. These devices receive signals at a range frequencies and then retransmit the signals using a different spectrum similar to how repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks work.

Advanced passive transponders can be found on aircrafts. They monitor flight status and provide navigational information such as the aircraft's location, speed and altitude. Air traffic controllers utilize the information from these transponders to manage the flight path and ensure safety.

A lot of personal keys have transponder chips in addition to transponders for aircraft. These chips are non-active and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal of the transponder whenever it is put into the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on and off their transponders. They can also select an "ident" mode that allows the transponder's unique squawk code, which helps it stand out on a busy air traffic control screens.
