. Initially, we assume
[

{[-1,1]}
to be the convex hull of the support of the signal f. We start with reviewing the computation of the indicator function and indicator diagram of a finite-typed complex-valued entire function, and then connect to the spectral invariant of
F
(
z
)
{F(z)}
. Then we focus to derive the unimodular part of the entire function up to certain non-uniqueness. We elaborate on the translation of the signal including the non-uniqueness associates of the Fourier transform. We show that the phase retrieval and magnitude retrieval are conjugate problems in the scattering theory of waves.
