Abstract

We study the convolutional phase retrieval problem, which considers recovery of an unknown signal x ∈ ℂn from m measurements consisting of the magnitudeofits cyclic convolution withaknown kernel a of lengthm. This model is motivated by applications to channel estimation, optics, and underwater acoustic communication, where the signal of interest is acted on byagiven channel/filter, and phase informationisdifficultorimpossible to acquire. We show that when a is random and m is sufficiently large, x can be efficiently recovered up to a global phase using a combination of spectral initialization and generalized gradient descent. The main challenge is coping with dependencies in the measurement operator; we overcome this challenge by using ideas from decoupling theory, suprema of chaos processes and the restricted isometry property of random circulant matrices, and recent analysis for alternating minimizing methods.
