        ## Prerequisite
        
        Install package `scipy` using the command shown below.
        
        ```
        pip install scipy
        ```
        
        
        ## Installation
        
        ```
        pip install patch_antenna
        ```
        
        ## Design patch antenna
        
        To get the design results of a patch antenna use the method `design(freq, er, h)` by passing your 
        **resonant frequency** (Hz), **dielectric constant** and **thickness of the cavity** (m) values as arguments.
        
        #### Example code:
        
        
        ```python
        import patch_antenna as pa
        
        # resonant frequency in Hz
        freq = 2.4 * 10 ** 9
        
        # dielectric constant
        er = 4.4
        
        # thickness of the cavity in meter
        h = 1.6 * 10 ** -3
        
        result = pa.design(freq, er, h)
        
        print(result)
        
        ```
        
        #### Output:
        
        ```
        {'frequency': 2400000000.0, 'patch_width': 0.0380099749575278, 'patch_length': 0.0294215930843705, 'feeder_width': 0.015203989983011122, 'feeder_length': 0.015449608708025277, 'inset_gap_width': 0.007601994991505561, 'inset_length': 0.010914409094654586, 'ground_length': 0.05447120179239577, 'ground_width': 0.06281396494053892, 'input_edge_impedance': 321.50075290241097}
        ```
        
        
        #### Write as Gerber file for both feed types
        
        - Normal feed
        
        ```python
        pa.write_gerber(freq, er, h, 'patch_design_normal_2.4GHz_4.4_er_1.6_h.gbr', 'normal')
        ```
        
        - Inset feed
        
        ```python
        pa.write_gerber(freq, er, h, 'patch_design_inset_2.4GHz_4.4_er_1.6_h.gbr', 'inset')
        ```
        
        #### Future:
        
        - Design and gerber generation for patch antenna arrays and including other parameters calculation.
        
        
        #### Note
        
        Patch antenna design, 3D simulation, and Gerber file facility also published as Web-Live application.
