There are sensors distributed over the surface of the airplane, who react to radars (electromagnetic waves in a certain spectrum). Evil radar wave hits you => the sensor goes haywire.

This of course is different when you are targeted by passive sensor systems like IRST sensors (infrared) or if sensor networks (one aircraft giving targeting information to another aircraft attacking you) are used.
