Well basically any patch antenna.  But the ones I'm currently looking
into are 2.4GHz patch antennas.

Scratches on a patch antenna,

Are they scratches on the copper itself, this shoulddn't affect the
operation at all unless they actually go all the way through the
copper trace.  even then they will only have a big effect if they are
large and against the resonant current direction.

If they are on the dielectric, protective covering, ground plane, or
are superficial in any way, the largest effect is a less apealing
look.  Should not affec the radiating properties of the antenna in the
least
