trokya,
Why don´t you use an incremental rottary encoder ?

In a rectangular patch the impedance present a sinusoidal variation with respect of the distance to the patch center. This helps in the optimization process: if you want to reduce the input impedance you have to approach the feed to the center; if you want to increase the impedance approach the feed to edge.
I think this rule alse applies for other patch geometries and the impedance variation depends on the dominant mode of the geometry.
I calculated the patch dimension and every thing, but whenever i change the coax radius or the probe radius or its position the fr change, i managed to get 2.44 and 2.46 GHz, but not the 2.45 GHz
...
whenever i change the position of the coax and the probe, the fr change and the loss too...trying to solve this problem, i need to get a 2.45GHz fr and a minimum of -15db loss..
Tune the frequency of resonance adjusting the patch size. Increase (or reduce) the resonant length if you get a higher (or lower) resonance, proportionally to the frequency. If this changes matching, shift the probe according to the desired impedance in the way eagle5 said.
Proceed in an iterative way. Quickly you will reach both conditions.
