I implemented this design in single mode. From all tests, with obstacles in the path, performance is very similar to a 1/4 wave dipole. However with a clear path i see a the PCB antenna RSSI better than that of a dipole antenna by at least 10units.

Here is a picture of both devices used in testing.
