The sensors use an oscillator to create the signal, which is transmitted through the air and picked up by a microphone, which converts it into an audio file. The audio files are examined to determine their similarity and proximity. When they are close to each other, the system will send a wake-up signal to the key. It will also send an ID signal that matches the vehicle.
