planar inverted f antenna
Hi,
With a PIFA, you can either use a planar inverted F structure (the 3-dimensional structure), or you can implement using PCB traces. Are there pro's and con's to both structures? Or do they both have similar performance?
To me it seems like the PCB trace would be the ideal solution. It's just a PCB trace, so it essentially costs nothing. The planar version seems more complex. Does the planar version offer better performance (better radiation patterns, more efficiency, etc.)?
Thanks.
