We consider imaging the reflectivity of scatterers from intensity-only data
recorded by a single moving transducer that both emits and receives signals,
forming a synthetic aperture. By exploiting frequency illumination diversity,
we obtain multiple intensity measurements at each location, from which we
determine field cross-correlations using an appropriate phase controlled
illumination strategy and the inner product polarization identity. The field
cross-correlations obtained this way do not, however, provide all the missing
phase information because they are determined up to a phase that depends on the
receiver's location. The main result of this paper is an algorithm with which
we recover the field cross-correlations up to a single phase that is common to
all the data measured over the synthetic aperture, so all the data are
synchronized. Thus, we can image coherently with data over all frequencies and
measurement locations as if full phase information was recorded
