Disposable pressure sensor methods and systems are disclosed. A substrate
can be provided, along with a capacitor and an inductor fixed to the
substrate to form a pressure sensor thereof. In a variable L
configuration, the inductor can be configured to comprise an inductor
surface and a diaphragm, such that when the diaphragm is exposed to a
pressure, the diaphragm moves close to the inductor surface, thereby
resulting in an increase in the inductance and a decrease in the resonant
frequency associated with the capacitor and the inductor and any
associated circuitry. In a variable C configuration, the capacitor can be
configured to comprise one electrode on the surface and one on the
diaphragm, such that when the diaphragm is exposed to a pressure, the
diaphragm moves close to the capacitor surface, thereby resulting in an
increase in the capacitance and a decrease in the resonant frequency
associated with the capacitor and the inductor and any associated
circuitry. Such increase and/or decrease data are detectable by external
interrogation.
