Lensless phase-retrieval system with phase modulation of free propagation wavefront is proposed. Contrary to the traditional super-resolution phase-retrieval, the method in this paper requires a single observation only and uses advanced SR-SPAR iterative technique. Successful object imaging relies on modulation of the object wavefront with a random phase-mask, which generates enlarged intensity patterns, allowing us to extract more information than it is possible without such a mask. The achieved high-quality super-resolution phase-imaging is demonstrated by simulation-tests produced with the parameters corresponding to the physical prototype of the considered optical system.
