In this thesis we address questions arising in two different research areas of mathematics, namely, in the area of Gabor frames in finite dimensions, belonging to the field of applied harmonic analysis, and phase retrieval problem, belonging to the field of signal processing. Our work is inspired by phase retrieval problem, which is motivated by real world applications, such as optics, speech recognition, astronomical imaging, quantum mechanics, and wireless communication. At the same time, study of this problem leads to beautiful and insightful mathematics on the intersection of different fields. The focus of this thesis is the investigation of geometric properties of Gabor frames and their role in the phase retrieval problem in the case of time-frequency structured frames. Even though phase retrieval problem has been studied for a long time, until recently very little was known about how to achieve stable and efficient reconstruction. Nowadays, the case when the measurement frame is a Gaussian frame with independent frame vectors is sufficiently well studied. At the same time very little is known about the case of structured, application relevant frames. The main reason for this is that some geometric properties of structured frames are not yet fully understood. In our work, we investigate such frame properties as optimal frame bounds and frame order statistics in the case of Gabor frames with random windows. The obtained results allow us to conclude that the properties of Gabor frames with random windows are often quite similar to the properties of Gaussian frames with independent vectors, which are optimal for many applications. We also design an efficient phase retrieval algorithm from nearly optimal number of time-frequency structured measurements and show its robustness in the case when measurements are corrupted by additive noise. Robustness analysis of the constructed algorithm turns out to be also closely linked to the geometric properties of Gabor frames.
