Abstract

We consider the problem of conjugate phase retrieval in Paley-Wiener space PWπPW_{\pi}. The goal of conjugate phase retrieval is to recover a signal ff from the magnitudes of linear measurements up to unknown phase factor and unknown conjugate, meaning f(t)f(t) and f(t)\overline{f(t)} are not necessarily distinguishable from the available data. We show that conjugate phase retrieval can be accomplished in PWπPW_{\pi} by sampling only on the real line by using structured convolutions. We also show that conjugate phase retrieval can be accomplished in PWπPW_{\pi} by sampling both ff and ff^{\prime} only on the real line. Moreover, we demonstrate experimentally that the Gerchberg-Saxton method of alternating projections can accomplish the reconstruction from vectors that do conjugate phase retrieval in finite dimensional spaces. Finally, we show that generically, conjugate phase retrieval can be accomplished by sampling at three times the Nyquist rate, whereas phase retrieval requires sampling at four times the Nyquist rate.
