All the tracker does (to my knowledge) is sending out a Bluetooth signal every Bluetooth-capable device that has been backdoored the appropriate software running and Bluetooth enabled, which is at least all IPhones, as well as many Android smartphones, will pick up those Bluetooth signals, calculate the rough distance based on the delay, and then send the rough location to the Apple servers. The Airtag itself does not calculate anything.
