This example shows how to create Gerber files from an antenna design and their location after the creation.

Create a coplanar inverted-F antenna.

fco = invertedFcoplanar(Height=14e-3,GroundPlaneLength=100e-3,...
    GroundPlaneWidth=100e-3);

Use this antenna to create a pcbStack object.

p = pcbStack(fco);

Use a SMA_Cinch RF connector and Mayhew Writer as a manufacturing service.

c = PCBConnectors.SMA_Cinch;
s = PCBServices.MayhewWriter;

Create an antenna design file using PCBWriter.

PW = PCBWriter(p,s,c);

Use the gerberWrite method to create Gerber files from the antenna design files.

gerberWrite(PW)

Open the folder that contains the Gerber files.

openFolder(PW)
