A disposable pressure sensor includes a substrate and a pressure diaphragm formed upon the substrate. A sensor coil can be provided, comprising a capacitor and an inductor formed on the substrate and surrounded by the pressure diaphragm. The ferrite core is located proximate to the sensor coil, such that when the pressure diaphragm is exposed to a pressure, the diaphragm moves close to the inductor or the capacitor, thereby resulting in a change in the capacitor or the inductor and an indication of pressure. The capacitor can be implanted as an adjustable, trimmable or variable capacitor. The inductor may also be provided as an adjustable or variable inductor and can include the use of a variable capacitor and a PVDF based piezoelectric transducer. When the PVDF layer is under pressure, it can generate an electric field across the interdigital transducer and transmit a signal thereof through an antenna.
