1. A sensing system for determining sensor data within a fluid chamber, the sensing system comprising:
a sensor configured to determine the sensor data, the sensor data associated with the fluid chamber;
a wireless transmission system configured to wirelessly couple with the sensor, the wireless transmission system configured for wirelessly providing significant electrical energy to the sensor as wireless power signals and receive the sensor data as in-band data signals encoded in the wireless power signals;
a wireless receiver system operatively associated with the sensor and with which the wireless transmission system couples with the sensor, the wireless receiver system configured to receive the significant electrical energy as the wireless power signals from the wireless transmission system; and
a controller operatively associated with the wireless transmission system and configured to decode the in-band data signals from the wireless power signals as the sensor data.
