A compact, planar antenna operating at 433 MHz is proposed for wireless smart systems with dimensions of 51 × 28 mm 2 including a ground plane, and printed on a low‐cost FR4 material. Significant size reduction is achieved using the variation of an inverted‐F antenna configuration with a square‐spiral section and rectangular patch element. Fine‐tuning of the antenna's resonant frequency is possible using a small capacitive stub. Sensor and radio transceiver electronics can be accommodated above the ground plane. The measured results indicate a 10 dB return loss bandwidth of 4.5 MHz, and a peak realised gain of −13 dBi with omnidirectional radiation characteristics.
