They receive signals at different frequencies and then retransmit the signals in a different frequency like repeaters in terrestrial cell phone networks operate.

Advanced passive transponders can be found on aircrafts.

Many keys for personal use have a transponder chip in addition to aircraft transponders. These chips are inactive and do not require batteries. This lets the ECU to read the signal from the transponder when it is installed in the ignition lock.

A majority of aircrafts have a button on the flight deck that allows pilots to turn on or off their transponders. They can also select a "ident" mode that allows the transponder to broadcast its unique squawk codes, which makes it stand out the crowded air-traffic control screen.
