I'm using antenna toolbox. Can't add a dielectric layer without adding a ground plane

I am developing a fractal antenna. I just want a fractal pattern on a dielectric, like FR4. Don't want a reflector/groundplane.
What I'm trying to get to as an example: Pic attached
Basic code below: You can see the dielectric is always the size of the ground-plane and always as thick as the calculate distance between the antenna exciter and ground plane.
Thanks,

antennaObject = design(reflector('Exciter', fractalGasket), 900*1e6);
antennaObject.Exciter.NumIterations = 3;
antennaObject.Substrate.Name = 'FR4';
antennaObject.Substrate.EpsilonR = 4.8;
antennaObject.Substrate.LossTangent = 0.026;

Hi,
You can use pcbStack for adding dielectric layer without ground plane. You can refer to the following
ant=pcbStack(fractalGasket)
show(ant)
ant.Layers{2}=dielectric('FR4')
show(ant)
For more information refer pcbStack
