Cassegrain Antenna Design Errors

I'm trying to run the attached code for a Cassegrain antenna, changing the frequency from 18 GHz to the GPS frequencies 1575.42 MHz and 1227.6 MHz. I changed the frequencies and the following errors came up: "Error in em.MeshGeometry/updateMesh, Error in em.MeshGeometry/getMesh, and Error in em.EmStructures/analyze". Can you help resolve the errors?
Rp=0.3175;
fp=0.2536;
Rsub=0.033;
fhyp=0.1416;
ant=cassegrain('Radius',[Rp Rsub],'FocalLength',[fp fhyp]);
show(ant);
Exciter=design(hornConical,17.7e9);
Exciter.FeedWidth=3.4e-3;
Exciter.Tilt=270;
Exciter.TiltAxis=[0 1 0];
show(Exciter);
ant=reflectorParabolic('Radius',0.3175);
ant.Exciter=design(hornConical,17.7e9);
ant.Exciter.Tilt=90;
figure;
pattern(ant,18e9);
ant=cassegrain;
s=sparameters(ant,linspace(18e9,18.8e9,25));
figure;rfplot(s);
figure;
impedance(ant,linspace(18e9,18.8e9,25));
current(ant,18e9,'scale','log10');
Exciter=design(horn,16.2e9);
Exciter.Tilt=270;
Exciter.TiltAxis=[0 1 0];
ant.Exciter=Exciter;
show(ant);
figure;
pattern(ant,18e9);

I have not worked with Antenna toolbox before, so I am not sure what changes you are looking for.
When I try
pattern(ant, 1575.42e6)
pattern(ant, 1227.6e6)
or
s=sparameters(ant,linspace(1200e6, 1600e6,25));
or
impedance(ant,linspace(1200e6, 1600e6,25))
everything looks plausible when I test in R2023a.
