Abstract

We study the problem of recovering a signal from magnitudes of its wavelet frame coefficients when the analyzing wavelet is real-valued. We show that every real-valued signal can be uniquely recovered, up to global sign, from its multi-wavelet frame coefficients {Wϕif(αmβn,αm):i{1,2,3},m,nZ} \{\lvert \mathcal{W}_{\phi_i} f(\alpha^{m}\beta n,\alpha^{m}) \rvert: i\in\{1,2,3\}, m,n\in\mathbb{Z}\} for every α>1,β>0\alpha>1,\beta>0 with βln(α)4π/(1+4p)\beta\ln(\alpha)\leq 4\pi/(1+4p), p>0p>0, when the three wavelets ϕi\phi_i are suitable linear combinations of the Poisson wavelet PpP_p of order pp and its Hilbert transform HPp\mathscr{H}P_p. For complex-valued signals we find that this is not possible for any choice of the parameters α>1,β>0\alpha>1,\beta>0, and for any window. In contrast to the existing literature on wavelet sign retrieval, our uniqueness results do not require any bandlimiting constraints or other a priori knowledge on the real-valued signals to guarantee their unique recovery from the absolute values of their wavelet coefficients.
