ABSTRACT:
An implantable transensor device containing a passive RF resonant circuit having a natural frequency influenced by the pressure of the sensor's environment in a body cavity of a living entity. The circuit of the transensor includes an inductor and a capacitor, at least one of which varies in value in direct relation to variation of environmental pressure to change the resonant frequency of the circuit. The circuit can be externally interrogated to determine the resonant frequency thereof at any point in time by the imposition thereon of swept frequency electromagnetic radiation provided by a monitoring device which determines when some of the radiation is absorbed as a result of the frequency of the radiation being the same as the resonant frequency of the transensor circuit. An imposed relationship exists between the sensed environmental pressure, and the reactance of the reactive components of the circuit. A natural relationship exists between pressure sensitive reactance, and the resonant frequency of the circuit. As a result, an increase in environmental pressure causes a corresponding increase in frequency and a decrease in environmental pressure causes a decrease in frequency.
