A homing transponder was a tracking device that emitted a signal that could be picked up by sensors tuned to receive it. A portable directional transceiver received the signal, and could lead an individual to the source of the signal. The F7V Valet/Translator Droid KL-6TLF7V/T was fitted with a homing transponder as part of his service as an Alliance to Restore the Republic agent.[1]

Homing transponders were also a part of the repulsor throwing razor's retrieval system. The wielder wore the homing transponder on their belt, coded to the owner's genetic pattern. When activated, it triggered the repulsorlift motor in the weapon's blade and returned it to the owner.[2]
