Soil moisture (SM) is vital for comprehending the hydrological cycle and managing climatic extremes. Fine-scale accurate SM products hold more and more significant value to water management and precise agricultural irrigation. While in-situ measurements provide high accuracy, their limited spatial c...

On carrierless phase retrieval (PR) receivers based on direct detection, bandwidth limitation of electrical-to-optical (E/O) conversion at the transmitter side (Tx) distorts the modulated optical signal. In this paper, we propose the Gercheberg-Saxton (GS)-aided and the data-aided estimation method...
