NaN problem with graphing
Show older comments
I am trying to graph Zf vs f for f:(10^6 to 10^10):
if true
format long
a = 1
b = 3*10.^-7
c = 5*10.^-8
f0 = 4*10.^9
sigma = 0.2
t0 = 0
tmax = 2*b
t = linspace(t0, tmax)
omega = 2*pi*f
omega0 = 2*pi*f0
yt = a*exp((-(t-b).^2)/((2*c).^2))
figure(1)
plot(t,yt)
zt = yt.*(1-((sigma/2)*(1-sin(omega0*t))))
figure(2)
plot(t,zt)
f = linspace(10.^6, 10.^10)
G = -2.*pi.*f.*(pi.*c.^2.*f + sqrt(-1).*b)
D = (((b-(sqrt(-1)).*2.*pi.*c.^2.*f-t0)/(sqrt(2).*c)))
E = (((b-(sqrt(-1)).*2.*pi.*c.^2.*f-tmax)/(sqrt(2).*c)))
Ff = sqrt(pi/2).*a.*c.*exp(G).*((-sqrt(-1).*(erfi(-sqrt(-1).*D)))-((-sqrt(-1).*(erfi(-sqrt(-1).*E)))))
Zf = ((1-(sigma/2)).*Ff) + (sqrt(-1).*sqrt(pi/2).*((a.*c.*sigma)/4).*exp(-((2.*pi.*f+omega0).*(c.^2.*(2.*pi.*f+omega0)+2.*sqrt(-1).*b)))).*(-exp(4.*pi.*c.^2.*f.*omega0+2.*sqrt(-1).*b.*omega0).*((-sqrt(-1).*erfi(((tmax-b+sqrt(-1).*c.^2).*(2.*pi.*f-omega0))/(sqrt(2).*c)))-(-sqrt(-1).*erfi(((t0-b+sqrt(-1).*c.^2).*(2.*pi.*f-omega0))/(sqrt(2).*c))))+(-sqrt(-1).*(erfi(((tmax-b+sqrt(-1)*c.^2).*(2.*pi.*f+omega0))/(sqrt(-1).*c))))-(-sqrt(-1).*erfi(((t0-b+sqrt(-1).*c.^2).*(2.*pi.*f+omega0))/(sqrt(-1).*c))))
figure(3)
plot(f,Zf)
% code
end
Why am I getting that both Ff and Zf are not a number for this evaluation? I've solved for Ff and it comes out to 0 (or at least really close to 0 and so the display was 0 when I solved for it). That wouldn't necessarily make Zf turn out 0 as well though since Ff is only multiplied against the first part in the equation Zf.

Note: erfi() requires the Symbolic Toolkit, or one of the File Exchange contributions that implements erfi(). Although erfi is formally defined in terms of erf, MATLAB's erf does not handle complex values.

Your code uses f to define omega before you assign a value to f.
