1. A measurement system comprising:
a sensor wire comprising an insertable portion configured to be inserted in a blood vessel of a patient's body;
a sensor disposed at the insertable portion at a distal end of the sensor wire, wherein the sensor is configured to provide an output indicative of a temperature in the blood vessel of the patient's body, when inserted inside the blood vessel of the patient's body; and
a transceiver unit configured to transfer information related to the output of the sensor to an external communication module using a frequency hopping technique,
wherein the transceiver unit comprises a housing adapted to be connected to a proximal end of the sensor wire and configured to remain external to the patient's body.
