The question is: With a short stub on the detector will the open or the
short represent zero phase angel?

Assuming the phase angle is between the voltages:

The phase angle between Vfor and Vref at an open circuit
is zero (all the energy is in the E-field).

The phase angle between Vfor and Vref at a short circuit
is 180 degrees (all the energy is in the H-field).
