Reflection coefficient S11 vs Resonator animation

[lilknaap]

Hello,

I'm trying to do an animation of a photon being absorbed by a resonator vs. the corresponding S11 plot being plotted against frequency. Can anyone give suggestions on how to go about this.

As the photon goes through Vin, at other frequencies it will be reflected and probed at Vout. This is shown as staright line in the S11 plot. At resonance frequency, the photon should be absorbed into the resonator, hence no photon measured at Vout. And this is seen as a dip in the plot at the corresponding frequency.

I have made animation for the photon moving in and out of the resonator, but not for the correctly timed plot.
Any idea if we can do the animation for plot in MATLAB or powerpoint ?
Thanks for you help !
\C

Yes, you can create an animation of the plot in MATLAB. You can use the MATLAB commands 'plot' and 'hold on' to draw the plot. Then you can use the command 'pause' to pause for a short duration before redrawing the plot for the next frequency. You can also use the 'drawnow' command after each 'pause' to update the plot with the new frequency. Finally, you can use the 'getframe' command to capture the plot at each step and store it as a frame in a movie. You can then play back the movie to view the animation. You can also use presentation softwares such as Powerpoint to create an animation of the plot. You can create the plots using plotting tools and then add the necessary frames to the animation. I hope this answer helps.
