In the version of Matlab that I have access to, there is no function
called phase:

Maybe you are thinking of angle(), not phase():

ANGLE Phase angle.
ANGLE(H) returns the phase angles, in radians, of a matrix with
complex elements.
See also ABS, UNWRAP.
Octave has both arg() and angle() (they do the same thing). I think I
chose the name arg() because that's what the function is called by
a number of mathematicians.
