−	FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a slot-coupled rectangular patch antenna in the project workspace	+	FUNCTION: Creates a set of randomly located and randomly oriented buildings with random dimensions and impenetrable walls in the project workspace
−	NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a substrate with two dielectric layers, which are separated by a PEC ground plane hosting a coupling slot. The upper layer hosts a rectangular patch antenna. The bottom layer hosts a microstrip feed line with an open stub, which is extended past the slot location. The total dimensions of the square patch are set equal to 0.47 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed. The length of the open stub beyond the slot location is set equal to a quarter guide wavelength, which can be changed, too.	+	NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: This wizard creates a realistic urban propagation scene with randomly located buildings in a square area of specified size. It can be used in two different ways. In the fully random mode, all the generated buildings are assigned and always retain random parameter values. Every time you open the Variables Dialog or open the same project, all the random variables get updated values. In the semi-random mode, the buildings are initially generated based on random parameter values, but these value are then fixed and locked for good.
