It's not particularly a coil, rather than a short straight pcb trace. You'll have higher parasitic inductances a many places in your circuit. Unless you're targetting to a mutiple GHz microwave circuit, the note sounds rather ignorant. Strictly spoken, the inductance of a pcb trace can't be calculated without knowing the substrate height an

Yes, an air-coil wire antenna is better than a pcb antenna assuming that you are using an usual FR4 material. This due to higher loss. You can try to use a wire length of lambda/8.
Theoretically the circularly coil give the best radiated resistance. You can flattened the coil and measure what gain you get, before and (...)

A rough rule of thumb is 1nH per millimeter of straight track so 6.2nH is a very small inductor paticularly if you need some bends in it.

Hi,
The return signal automatically flows through the GND plane directly below the signal trace, because by doing so the loop inductance of the circuit is minimized.
Currents on the pcb follow the path of least inductance. The only way for that to happen is if the return current travels directly under the signal trace on its way back to the
