Wide bandwidth combined with small size is usually a bad sign. Physics
tends to make small antennas narrow banded, unless they are lossy.


In the product development world, we say "Fast - cheap - good: pick any
two." Antennas are subject to a similar constraint, as Jon points out -
"Small - broadband - efficient: pick any two."
