Resonant pressure sensor

Abstract

An resonant pressure sensor, includes: a housing; a housing-fixed portion that is fixed to the housing; a substrate that includes a substrate-fixed portion that is fixed to the housing-fixed portion and a substrate-separated portion that is separated from the housing-fixed portion and extends from the substrate-fixed portion; a first resonator that is disposed in the substrate-separated portion and that detects a change of a resonance frequency based on a strain in the substrate caused by static pressure applied by the pressure-receiving fluid; and a processor. A pressure-receiving fluid is interposed in a gap between the housing-fixed portion and the substrate and envelops the substrate. The processor measures the static pressure based on the detected change of the resonance frequency.
