Which one is better among ceramic antenna, PCB antenna and IPEX antenna? [Copy link]

There are many types of antennas in IoT design, the most common ones are ceramic antennas, PCB antennas and IPEX antennas. IPEX antennas can be subdivided into many antennas, so different scenarios may use different antennas. I personally think that PCB antenna design is the most troublesome because it requires calculating many parameters, but PCB should be more assembly-saving and component-saving. I roughly summarized it from three aspects: design, cost and stability.

Design difficulty: PCB antenna > ceramic antenna > IPEX antenna;

Cost: IPEX antenna > ceramic antenna > PCB antenna;

Stability: IPEX antenna > ceramic antenna > PCB antenna;

Of course, this is just my personal experience summary. What kind of antenna solution do you generally use when designing antennas ?

Ceramic Antenna:

PCB Antenna:

IPEX Antenna:

Such a comparison is meaningless. All components have their own application areas, and comparison is meaningful only when the premise is equivalent.

Cost: IPEX antenna > ceramic antenna > PCB antenna; choose ceramic

PCB antenna cost is definitely the lowest

yes!

Neutralize it, ceramic ceramic, ceramic is the first choice, which is currently the most cost-effective variety
