Hello, I am having a problem with log plots and could use some kind assistance. Basically, I am plotting bit error rate (BER) curves for a telecommunications system. I have a vector for my y-axis (BER) values and a vector for the corresponding x-axis values. Using the semilogy command, I get my plot and it is fine. However, the y-axis tick marks (i.e. 10^-2, 10^-4, 10^-6, etc.) all have equal spacings between them. I am trying to find a way to scale the y-axis such that it is somewhat "to scale", that is, the spacing between 10^-6 and 10^-4 should be proportionately smaller than that between 10^-4 and 10^-2, and so on. I understand it is pointless for the spacings to be exactly proportional (lest the spacing between 10^-6 and 10^-4 would be 100 times smaller than that between 10^-4 and 10^-2!) but as long as it can be shown graphically that the spacings have been scaled, that will be good.
I would have like to attach some graphs as examples, but am unsure if Mathworks has this feature. Any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Nicholas
