rect1 = antenna.Rectangle;
rect2 = antenna.Rectangle;
rect2.Length = 1e-7;
rect2.Center = [0,0.75];

Add rectangle 1 and rectangle 2.

rect3 = rect1 + rect2

rect3 = 
  Polygon with properties:

        Name: 'mypolygon'
    Vertices: [8x3 double]

show(rect3)

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object with xlabel x (m), ylabel y (m) contains 2 objects of type patch. These objects represent PEC, mypolygon.

Remove slivers.
