A transponder is an implanted biochip that consists of four main parts: a computer microchip, antenna coil, tuning capacitor, and glass capsule. It senses biological events and translates them into a format readable by a computer through transduction, which allows for additional analysis and processing to produce a final output understandable to humans.

Introduction to biochips
- 4. Transponder It is the actual biochip implant. Transponder consist of four parts: 1. Computer microchip 2. Antenna coil 3. Tuning capacitor 4. Glass capsule
- 8. The figure shows the make up of a typical biochip platform. The actual sensing component (or "chip") is just one piece of a complete analysis system.
- 9. Transduction must be done to translate the actual sensing event (DNA binding, oxidation/reduction, etc.) into a format understandable by a computer (voltage, light intensity, mass, etc.), which then enables additional analysis and processing to produce a final, human-readable output.
