We study a class of real robust phase retrieval problems under a Gaussian assumption on the coding matrix when the received signal is sparsely corrupted by noise. The goal is to establish conditions on the sparsity under which the input vector can be exactly recovered. The recovery problem is formulated as residual minimization in the ℓ1-norm. The main contribution is a robust phase retrieval counterpart to the seminal paper by Candes and Tao on compressed sensing (ℓ1regression) [Decoding by linear programming. IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 51(12):4203-4215, 2005]. The analysis depends on a key new property of the coding matrix called the Absolute Range Property (ARP) which is the analogue to the Null Space Property (NSP) in compressed sensing. When the residuals are computed using squared magnitudes, we show that ARP follows from a standard Restricted Isometry Property (RIP). However, when the residuals are computed using absolute magnitudes, a different kind of RIP or growth property is required. We conclude by showing that the robust phase retrieval objectives are sharp with respect to their minimizers with high probability.
