We study the problem of recovering a signal from magnitudes of its wavelet frame coefficients when the analyzing wavelet is real-valued. We show that every real-valued signal can be uniquely recovered, up to global sign, from its multiwavelet frame coefficients \[ { | W ϕ i f ( α m β n , α m ) | : i ∈ { 1 , 2 , 3 } , m , n ∈ Z } \{ Wφ _i f(α ᵐβ n,α ᵐ) : i∈ \{1,2,3\}, m,n∈ Z\} \] for every α > 1 , β > 0 α >1,β >0 with β ln ( α ) ≤ 4 π / ( 1 + 4 p ) β ln (α )≤ 4π /(1+4p) , p > 0 p>0 , when the three wavelets ϕ i φ _i are suitable linear combinations of the Poisson wavelet P p P_p of order p p and its Hilbert transform H P p HP_p . For complex-valued signals we find that this is not possible for any choice of the parameters α > 1 , β > 0 α >1,β >0 , and for any window. In contrast to the existing literature on wavelet sign retrieval, our uniqueness results do not require any bandlimiting constraints or other a priori knowledge on the real-valued signals to guarantee their unique recovery from the absolute values of their wavelet coefficients.
