In this case a (meandered) inverted-F antenna has an acceptable radiation pattern and could be made small enough to fit the available space without ruining the efficiency. The shown antenna is printed on the PCB (=low cost), call it planar (2D). There is nothing holding you back in making a 3D version. | |
