There are also a diode, transistor and resonator, all these parts make up the key's circuit.

Immobilisers

As car immobilisers became more popular in the last decade, car thefts began to drop, however thieves are savvy and always searching for ways to bypass security systems. They could get through the early immobiliser systems using a scanner tool to locate the transponder's code chip, and then copying it onto a blank key, but since then technology has advanced and they've been forced to think of new tricks.

Fortunately, the majority immobilisers we sell and install are Thatcham Cat 2 certified. The Thatcham Research organisation has tested and certified them. This non-profit organization is the grading and certification system for automotive aftermarket alarm and security equipment, including car immobilisers.

When the Thatcham approved immobiliser device is activated it will transmit a coded signal to the Engine Management System of the vehicle, which blocks the engine from starting until the correct key is available.

This helps keep a distinct line between aircrafts and also identifies an aircraft to air traffic controllers if it is operating a radar system. The information sent back by the transponder differs based on the type of system that is used.

Transponders are also utilized in space vehicles and satellites to connect with Earth-based systems like cell phone networks and other communication networks. These devices receive signals on a range of frequencies, and then retransmit them on a different frequency, just like repeaters operate in terrestrial cell phone networks.

Often sophisticated transponders with sophisticated technology can be located on aircraft. They are used to monitor the status of the flight and provide information about navigation such as the aircraft's location and speed, altitude, and the route. Air traffic controllers use the data from these transponders to manage flight routes and ensure safety.

In addition to aircraft transponders Many personal keys come with a tiny transponder. These chips don't require batteries and are completely passive. This allows the ECU to read the signal from the transponder whenever it is placed in the ignition lock.

Most airplanes have a switch on the flight deck, which allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select a "ident" mode that lets the transponder transmit its unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out on a busy air-traffic control screen.
