The substrate specified for this patch is not part of the dielectric catalog.
You can add it to the catalog if desired, so that the material can be used next time
without specifying its electrical properties. You can
also specify the substrate
property directly as well as shown below.
p1.Substrate = dielectric('Name','material1','EpsilonR',2.33);
As indicated in the reference [1], the feed is modeled as a square column
of side 1mm. This feed model is available in the pcbStack. Convert the patch
model to the stack representation and model the feed.
pb1 = pcbStack(p1);
pb1.FeedDiameter = sqrt(2)*1e-3;
pb1.FeedViaModel = 'square'
