+class RectangularPatch:

+    Rectangular microstrip patch antenna (optionally inset-fed).
+
+    The class automatically determines the physical dimensions for a
+    desired resonance frequency, creates the patch, ground plane and
+    either an inset microstrip feed or a coaxial probe feed, and
+    optionally sets up an HFSS simulation.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    edb_cell : pyedb.Edb, optional
+        EDB project/cell in which the antenna will be built.
+    freq : str or float, default "2.4GHz"
+        Target resonance frequency of the patch.  A string such as
+        ``"2.4GHz"`` or a numeric value in Hz can be given.
+    inset : str or float, default 0
+        Inset depth for a 50 Ω microstrip feed.  A value of 0 selects
+        a probe (via) feed instead.
+    layer : str, default "TOP_METAL"
+        Metallization layer on which the patch polygon is drawn.
+    bottom_layer : str, default "BOT_METAL"
+        Metallization layer on which the ground polygon is drawn.
+    add_port : bool, default True
+        If True, create a wave port (inset feed) or lumped port
+        (probe feed) and add an HFSS setup with a frequency sweep.
