An Algorithm for Exact Super-resolution and Phase Retrieval

We explore a fundamental problem of super-resolving a signal of interest from a few measurements of its low-pass magnitudes. We propose a 2-stage tractable algorithm that, in the absence of noise, admits perfect super-resolution of an $r$-sparse signal from $2r^2-2r+2$ low-pass magnitude measurements. The spike locations of the signal can assume any value over a continuous disk, without increasing the required sample size. The proposed algorithm first employs a conventional super-resolution algorithm (e.g. the matrix pencil approach) to recover unlabeled sets of signal correlation coefficients, and then applies a simple sorting algorithm to disentangle and retrieve the true parameters in a deterministic manner. Our approach can be adapted to multi-dimensional spike models and random Fourier sampling by replacing its first step with other harmonic retrieval algorithms.
