Retrieving a signal from its triple correlation spectrum, also called bispectrum, arises in a wide range of signal processing problems. Conventional methods do not provide an accurate inversion of bispectrum to the underlying signal. In this paper, we present an approach that uniquely recovers signals with finite spectral support (band-limited signals) from at least $3B$ measurements of its bispectrum function (BF), where $B$ is the signal's bandwidth. Our approach also extends to time-limited signals. We propose a two-step trust region algorithm that minimizes a non-convex objective function. First, we approximate the signal by a spectral algorithm and then refine the attained initialization based on a sequence of gradient iterations. Numerical experiments suggest that our proposed algorithm is able to estimate band-/time-limited signals from its BF for both complete and undersampled observations.
