First do the hand calculations for the patch antenna size, they can be found in many textbooks.
Next, simulate the antenna and see how close it matches your hand calculations.
I can recommend:
Microstrip Antenna Design Handbook by Bahl, Bhartia et al.
Good antenna theory textbooks are:
Antenna Theory and Design by Stutzman and Thiele
Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design by Balanis
Older editions can be found on AbeBooks and are just fine.
Antenna-Theory.com is a good online antenna reference.
Try posting in /r/rfelectronics for help later.
Looks like he released the 4th ed recently
He also has Modern Antenna Handbook
And several others, thank you for bringing my attention to him!

> A good book on antenna theory would look nice on your bookshelf. And girls really like antenna books. Sometimes you get sick of reading things on the internet, and want a comprehensive antenna book to read. On this page, I'll review some of the popular antenna books available.
Seriously, you could do worse than Antenna Theory by Balanis:

You've got a lot of good advice in this post that pretty much covers what I was gonna say. I can relate to you when you say that you really understand the subject by working through all the details and the math. However, I've found that when it's time to actually put theory to practice, a lot of times you can't do it directly because the problem at hand is way too complex. And like you said, that approach takes a very long time. So, a compromise I've made is that I just start doing the project, and then learn the theory in parallel. That way, you sort of start to get both the intuition and the solid foundations behind what you're trying to work on.
Also, a practical book I'd recommend is Practical Antenna Handbook. I've skimmed through it and it seems like a really good book to get a feeling for working with antennas. It's definitely on my to-read list. If you really want the nitty-gritty of antenna theory, I've heard good things about Balanis and Kraus.
