Abstract

A signal recovery technique is motivated and derived for the recovery of several nonnegative signals from measurements of their autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions. The iterative technique is shown to preserve nonnegativity of the signal estimates and to produce a sequence of estimates whose correlations better approximate the measured correlations as the iterations proceed. The method is demonstrated on simulated data for active imaging with dual-frequency or dual-polarization illumination.
