printed coil antenna

what are the advantages and disadvantages of these types of antennas. for a short range only between 1-10 meters.

thanks in advance.

Because of its simple geometry, the printed antenna offers many attractive advantages, such as low profile, light weight, easy fabrication, integrability with microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits, and conformability to curved surfaces.
Among these advantages, conformability is the most important to future applications of printed antennas.
A disadvantage of printed antennas is the influence of the substrate on the performances.
