# SetPhase

*class* `qiskit.pulse.instructions.SetPhase(phase, channel, name=None)`

[GitHub](https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.4/qiskit/pulse/instructions/phase.py#L93-L152)

Bases: [`Instruction`](/docs/api/qiskit/1.4/pulse#qiskit.pulse.instructions.Instruction "qiskit.pulse.instructions.instruction.Instruction")

The set phase instruction sets the phase of the proceeding pulses on that channel to `phase` radians.

In particular, a PulseChannel creates pulses of the form

$$
Re[\exp(i 2\pi f jdt + \phi) d_j]
$$

The `SetPhase` instruction sets $\phi$ to the instruction’s `phase` operand.

Instantiate a set phase instruction, setting the output signal phase on `channel` to `phase` \[radians].

> **Deprecated since version 1.3**
>
> The class `qiskit.pulse.instructions.phase.SetPhase` is deprecated as of Qiskit 1.3. It will be removed in Qiskit 2.0. The entire Qiskit Pulse package has been deprecated.

**Parameters**

- **phase** ([*complex*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#complex)  *|*[*ParameterExpression*](/docs/api/qiskit/1.4/qiskit.circuit.ParameterExpression "qiskit.circuit.parameterexpression.ParameterExpression")) – The rotation angle in radians.
- **channel** (*PulseChannel*) – The channel this instruction operates on.
