dear friends,
i'm new to antenna design. currently i got to design a single antenna which covers bluetooth, 3G and Wi-Fi bands. i plan to print/design the antenna on the PCB.

i come a across a antenna book explaining pros and cons of each antenna. the book is "design of ultra wideband antenna matching network". however no much point given on which antenna is the best for my requirement.

my requirements are:

1) low SAR
2) high efficiency
3) low S11
4) smaller size (as small as possible)

can anyone tell me which antenna is suitable for my application and the reason why? PIFA or FICA or some other antenna?
