A key fob is a device that consists of a computer chip and a metal shell. When it comes close to an reader on the fob, copper coils on both sides of the fob are energized and transform the radio frequency signal into electricity.

This process is known as "key matching" and is utilized by the security system of your vehicle to verify that you're the legitimate owner of the car. When the keys are matched and the reader is allowed to start the vehicle and open the doors.
