FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a microstrip-fed rectangular patch antenna in the project workspace
NOTES, SPECIAL CASES OR EXCEPTIONS: The wizard asks you whether you want a microstrip-fed patch antenna with a recessed feed or one with a direct microstrip line junction. In [[EM.Tempo]], the patch antenna feed line is fed excited by a lumped source on a short vertical PEC linemicrostrip port. In [[EM.Picasso]], the patch antenna is fed by feed line has a probe source on a short vertical PEC viascattering wave port. In both modules, the The total dimensions of the square patch are set equal to 0.47 5 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed.

FUNCTION: Creates the parameterized geometry of a slot-coupled rectangular patch antenna in the project workspace
Â
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 0.5 times the effective dielectric wavelength, which can be changed.
