Transponder signals are received by a device near the ignition, which decodes the serial number of the transmission. If the numbers match, the car starts. The majority of cars built during the last two decades have transponder keys. They are also used on aircrafts. Air traffic control makes use of them to identify friendly aircraft by the use of a coded signal known as IFF (Identification Friends or Foe). Certain aircrafts are equipped with mode C or mode S transponders that transmit the identifying codes and altitude information to ATC. They also have systems to avoid collisions.
