On a dense set of functions determined by sampled Gabor magnitude

We study the problem of recovering a function from the magnitude of its Gabor transform sampled on a discrete set. While it is known that uniqueness fails for general square integrable functions, we show that phase retrieval is possible for a dense class of signals: specifically, those whose Bargmann transforms are entire functions of exponential type. Our main result characterises when such functions can be uniquely recovered (up to a global phase) from magnitude only data sampled on uniformly discrete sets of sufficient lower Beurling density. In particular, we prove that every entire function of exponential type is uniquely determined (up to a global phase) among all second order entire functions by its modulus on a sufficiently dense shifted lattice with suitable structure.

Abstract

We study the problem of recovering a function from the magnitude of its Gabor transform sampled on a discrete set. While it is known that uniqueness fails for general square integrable functions, we show that phase retrieval is possible for a dense class of signals: specifically, those whose Bargmann transforms are entire functions of exponential type. Our main result characterises when such functions can be uniquely recovered (up to a global phase) from magnitude only data sampled on uniformly discrete sets of sufficient lower Beurling density. In particular, we prove that every entire function of exponential type is uniquely determined (up to a global phase) among all second order entire functions by its modulus on a sufficiently dense shifted lattice with suitable structure.
