Plotting function with a summation produces a wrong result

Question

I have an equation that needs to be plotted, and the plot is coming out incorrectly.

The equation is as follows:

And the plot should look like this:

But my code:

clear; clc; close all;

eta      = 376.7303134617706554679; % 120pi
ka       = 4;
N        = 24;
coeff    = (2)/(pi*eta*ka);
Jz       = 0;

theta = [0;0.0351015938948580;0.0702031877897160;0.105304781684574;0.140406375579432;0.175507969474290;0.210609563369148;0.245711157264006;0.280812751158864;0.315914345053722;0.351015938948580;0.386117532843438;0.421219126738296;0.456320720633154;0.491422314528012;0.526523908422870;0.561625502317728;0.596727096212586;0.631828690107444;0.666930284002302;0.702031877897160;0.737133471792019;0.772235065686877;0.807336659581734;0.842438253476592;0.877539847371451;0.912641441266309;0.947743035161167;0.982844629056025;1.01794622295088;1.05304781684574;1.08814941074060;1.12325100463546;1.15835259853031;1.19345419242517;1.22855578632003;1.26365738021489;1.29875897410975;1.33386056800460;1.36896216189946;1.40406375579432;1.43916534968918;1.47426694358404;1.50936853747890;1.54447013137375;1.57957172526861;1.61467331916347;1.64977491305833;1.68487650695319;1.71997810084804;1.75507969474290;1.79018128863776;1.82528288253262;1.86038447642748;1.89548607032233;1.93058766421719;1.96568925811205;2.00079085200691;2.03589244590177;2.07099403979662;2.10609563369148;2.14119722758634;2.17629882148120;2.21140041537606;2.24650200927091;2.28160360316577;2.31670519706063;2.35180679095549;2.38690838485035;2.42200997874520;2.45711157264006;2.49221316653492;2.52731476042978;2.56241635432464;2.59751794821949;2.63261954211435;2.66772113600921;2.70282272990407;2.73792432379893;2.77302591769378;2.80812751158864;2.84322910548350;2.87833069937836;2.91343229327322;2.94853388716807;2.98363548106293;3.01873707495779;3.05383866885265;3.08894026274751;3.12404185664236;-3.12404185664236;-3.08894026274751;-3.05383866885265;-3.01873707495779;-2.98363548106293;-2.94853388716807;-2.91343229327322;-2.87833069937836;-2.84322910548350;-2.80812751158864;-2.77302591769378;-2.73792432379893;-2.70282272990407;-2.66772113600921;-2.63261954211435;-2.59751794821949;-2.56241635432464;-2.52731476042978;-2.49221316653492;-2.45711157264006;-2.42200997874520;-2.38690838485035;-2.35180679095549;-2.31670519706063;-2.28160360316577;-2.24650200927091;-2.21140041537605;-2.17629882148120;-2.14119722758634;-2.10609563369148;-2.07099403979662;-2.03589244590177;-2.00079085200691;-1.96568925811205;-1.93058766421719;-1.89548607032233;-1.86038447642748;-1.82528288253262;-1.79018128863776;-1.75507969474290;-1.71997810084804;-1.68487650695319;-1.64977491305833;-1.61467331916347;-1.57957172526861;-1.54447013137375;-1.50936853747890;-1.47426694358404;-1.43916534968918;-1.40406375579432;-1.36896216189946;-1.33386056800461;-1.29875897410975;-1.26365738021489;-1.22855578632003;-1.19345419242517;-1.15835259853032;-1.12325100463546;-1.08814941074060;-1.05304781684574;-1.01794622295088;-0.982844629056025;-0.947743035161167;-0.912641441266309;-0.877539847371451;-0.842438253476592;-0.807336659581735;-0.772235065686877;-0.737133471792019;-0.702031877897161;-0.666930284002303;-0.631828690107445;-0.596727096212586;-0.561625502317728;-0.526523908422871;-0.491422314528013;-0.456320720633154;-0.421219126738296;-0.386117532843439;-0.351015938948581;-0.315914345053722;-0.280812751158864;-0.245711157264007;-0.210609563369149;-0.175507969474290;-0.140406375579432;-0.105304781684575;-0.0702031877897167;-0.0351015938948580;-2.44929359829471e-16];

for n = 0:N
    if n == 0

    num    = (-1.^(n)).*(1i.^(n)).*(cos(n.*theta)).*(kappa);

Jz = Jz.*coeff;

plot(x,abs(Jz));

Produces the following incorrect plot:

Note that the values of theta are discrete angles around a circular cylinder. The equation is the analytical solution to the current density for a TMz polarized cylinder in 2D.

Answer 1

I think that your result is actually correct and this is a simple problem with plotting or with how you specify theta. Since this is a periodic function, lets draw a few more periods:

function q52693512

eta      = 376.7303134617706554679; % 120pi
ka       = 4;
N        = 24;
coeff    = (2)/(pi*eta*ka);
Jz       = 0;

theta = linspace(-3*pi, 3*pi, 180);
for n = 0:N
    kappa  = 1 + (n>0);
    num    = (-1.^(n)).*(1i.^(n)).*(cos(n.*theta)).*(kappa);
    Hankel = besselh(n,2,ka);
    Jz     = Jz + ((num./Hankel));
end

Jz = Jz.*coeff;
figure(); plot(theta, abs(Jz));

You might already be able to see that the desired results is in there but shifted by half a period with respect to our result. This is clearer if we look again at the center (it's exactly the shape you want, if ignoring the horizontal axis values).

Try looking for some justification for ϕ being equal to theta ± π/2 (or something like that).
