Abstract

In phase-only compressive sensing (PO-CS), our goal is to recover low-complexity signals (e.g., sparse signals, low-rank matrices) from the phase of complex linear measurements. While perfect recovery of signal direction in PO-CS was observed quite early, the exact reconstruction guarantee for a fixed, real signal was recently done by Jacques and Feuillen. However, two questions remain open: the uniform recovery guarantee and exact recovery of complex signal. In this paper, we almost completely address these two open questions. We prove that, all complex sparse signals or low-rank matrices can be uniformly, exactly recovered from a near optimal number of complex Gaussian measurement phases. By recasting PO-CS as a linear compressive sensing problem, the exact recovery follows from restricted isometry property (RIP). Our approach to uniform recovery guarantee is based on covering arguments that involve a delicate control of the (original linear) measurements with overly small magnitude. To work with complex signal, a different sign-product embedding property and a careful rescaling of the sensing matrix are employed. In addition, we show an extension that the uniform recovery is stable under moderate bounded noise. We also propose to add Gaussian dither before capturing the phases to achieve full reconstruction with norm information. Experimental results are reported to corroborate and demonstrate our theoretical results.
