What is phase in frequency analysis?

The magnitude tells you the strength of the frequency components relative to other components. The phase tells you how all the frequency components align in time . Plot the magnitude and the phase components of the frequency spectrum of the signal. The magnitude is conveniently plotted in a logarithmic scale (dB).
