The following python code is used to generate 72 images used in this animation. Then using an online gif image maker "ezgif.com" these 72 images are combined to get gif image.

# Python code using matplotlib library to generate 72 images to create a gif file that shows
# how phase change is achieved by changing I and Q signals amplitude in IQ modulators
# 
# I- inphase Q-quadrature

# Physics concept : how by only changing the magnitude of I and Q signals amplitude
# one can change the phase of I+Q wave signal

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# t is the current phase, and phase is changed from 0° to 355° in the steps of 5°

for t in range(0,356,5):

    # I) CREATING FUNCTION FOR PLOTTING

    # creating a blue circle in PHASOR DIAGRAM using parametric equation (radius=1, theta=s)
    s=np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 400)
    x1=np.cos(s)
    y1=np.sin(s)

    # creating I and Q vectors magnitude (x=I, y=Q) in PHASOR DIAGRAM
    x = 1*np.cos(0.0174533*t)
    y = 1*np.sin(0.0174533*t)

    # creating I, Q, I+Q amplitude and Phase (0° to 720°) for WAVE DIAGRAM
    x2 = np.linspace(0, 721, 400) # Pahse from 0° to 720° divided into 400 points
    y2 = 1*np.sin(0.0174533*t)*np.sin(0.0174533*x2) # Q
    z2 = 1*np.cos(0.0174533*t)*np.cos(0.0174533*x2) # I
    q2 = (y2 + z2) # (I+Q)

    # creating text to show current phase t
    text1 = "phase = " + str(t)+'°'

    # II) CREATING THE PLOT (phasor and wave diagram in one plot arranged 1 x 2)
