 I have a really really dumb question but I will ask ... 
 Is there any impact regarding the orientation of an IFA antenna? 
 Everywhere, in all examples, we can see the same orientation (feed point on the left and antenna continuing on the right</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 27 Mar 2018 16:02:52 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/32794/ifa-antenna-orientation" /><item><title>RE: IFA antenna orientation</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/126152?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Mar 2018 16:02:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:28d40ed5-8d1b-4204-944d-65a98ff0bce3</guid><dc:creator>AmbystomaLabs</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;As long as all the ground plane connections mirror along with it, there is no difference.
