1. A method for determining a physical parameter associated with a wireless sensor, comprising:

  • generating an energizing signal;

    receiving a sensor signal from the wireless sensor;

    sampling the sensor signal using at least two sample points;

    based on the at least two sample points, adjusting a frequency and a phase of the energizing signal;

    using the frequency of the energizing signal to determine the resonant frequency of the wireless sensor; and

    using the determined resonant frequency of the wireless sensor to determine a physical parameter associated with the wireless sensor.
