[SENSe<Sensor>:]IGAMma:PHASe?

Queries the phase angle of the complex input reflection coefficient

. The result is

provided in degrees. Range:

180

degrees to +180

degrees.

Example:

IGAM:PHAS?

Query

-1.02

Response

Usage:

Query only

[SENSe<Sensor>:]IGAMma:EUNCertainty?

Queries the expanded (k = 2) uncertainty of the magnitude of the complex input reflec-
tion coefficient

. Following gamma correction, the residual mismatch uncertainty

becomes so small that it is practically negligible.

Example:

IGAM:EUNC?

Query

5.000000E-03

Response

Usage:

Query only
