“…The problem of recovering a one-dimensional signal from its Fourier transform magnitude, known as phase retrieval, is of paramount importance in various engineering and scientific applications, such as X-ray crystallography [8,27], optics [11,34], astronomy [9,31], speech recognition [24,32,38,39], and blind channel estimation [1,3]. This problem has a long history and has been studied by many researchers [5,7,10,12,14,18].…”
