1. A pressure sensor for sensing pressure of a fluid, the pressure sensor comprising:

  • a diaphragm flexure;

    a crystal retaining flexure, wherein the diaphragm flexure is designed to exert imparted force on the crystal retaining flexure and wherein the imparted force is proportional to fluid pressure exerted on the diaphragm flexure; and

    a resonator having opposing curved end portions connected to each other by a bridge section, wherein a portion of the crystal retaining flexure is positioned between the diaphragm flexure and the resonator, and wherein the crystal retaining flexure is designed to exert a load on the resonator, the load resulting from the imparted force exerted on the crystal retaining flexure by the diaphragm flexure.
