plot limit problem for x sides

the code show to me my plot just for x=12 i need it to work for x=0

i did the xlim and the ylim but i havn't no think !

semilogy(vec_SNR_dB,var_ber, 'c', 'MarkerSize', 3 );	
ylim( [ 1e-6, 100 ] ); xlim( [ 0, 20 ] );
grid on;
hold on ;

can some one help me plz !

Maybe the first row or column of "vec_SNR_dB" starts with 0 and the second with 12. Or some elements are NaN so that they are not plotted. We can't tell without the data for "vec_SNR_dB" and "var_ber".

In the code you have

mod_order = 16;
vec_EbN0_dB = 0:2:20

vec_EbN0_dB = 1x11

0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20

vec_SNR_dB = vec_EbN0_dB + 10*log10(mod_order)

vec_SNR_dB = 1x11

12.0412 14.0412 16.0412 18.0412 20.0412 22.0412 24.0412 26.0412 28.0412 30.0412 32.0412

your problem is that you create the X vector for your plot using summation, and the second part of that sum is constant 12.0412 so your X vector will always start with an offset.

You must design vec_SNR_dB in a way that is tarts at 0.

Why not just use vec_EbN0_db? It starts at 0 and end at 20. And If you need somevery specific points on the X axis then just create a vecotr for those values manually, or figure out different formula.

Hi Amani,

It seems that the variable 'vec_SNR_dB', which represents the Signal to Noise Ratio in decibels, should be on the y-axis instead of the x-axis in the figure. The function 'semilogy' has arguments in the following order: (X,Y) where represents x- and y-coordinates respectively.

You can refer to the following documentation to learn more about the function 'semilogy':

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/semilogy.html

To represent the plot accurately, you should use the 'semilogy' function as follows:

semilogy(var_ber,vec_SNR_dB, 'c', 'MarkerSize', 3 );

Kindly please share a reproducible version of the code to narrow down the other potential problems.
