1. A system for use in wireless transmission of a parameter, wherein the system comprises:
- a passive sensor device locatable proximate a material, wherein the passive sensor device comprises a resonant circuit, wherein the resonant circuit comprises;
a sensing portion configured to be used to measure a parameter of the material, wherein at least a portion of the sensing portion is exposable to the material, anda circuit portion electrically coupled to the sensing portion, wherein the circuit portion is configured to measure the parameter using the sensing portion and to measure a temperature proximate the sensing portion, wherein the circuit portion is further configured to wirelessly transmit a signal representative of the measured parameter and the measured temperature when energized; and
an interrogator portion locatable proximate the passive sensor device, wherein the interrogator portion comprises interrogating circuitry configured to wirelessly transmit energy to the circuit portion of the resonant circuit of the passive sensor device and to wirelessly receive the signal representative of the measured parameter and the measured temperature from the circuit portion of the resonant circuit of the passive sensor device, wherein the interrogating circuitry is further configured to generate a temperature-compensated value of the parameter based on the received signal.

Abstract
Systems, devices, and/or methods for use in passive wireless transmission of one or more parameters such as, e.g., pH, temperature, etc. are described. The systems, devices, and/or methods may use a passive sensor located proximate a material and an interrogator that may be used to interrogate the passive sensor and to receive a signal from the passive sensor representative of the one or more parameters.
