Abstract

We study a semi-passive intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) enabled ISAC, where IRS is employed to assist the secure communication and perform target sensing. Specifically, we model two types of targets, namely point targets and extended targets. The direction-of-arrival (DoA) of the former and the complete target response matrix of the latter should be estimated. We derive the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) as the performance metric of target estimation. To achieve the performance tradeoff, we design a weighted optimization problem that balances maximizing the secrecy rate and minimizing the CRB, via jointly optimizing the transmit beamforming and phase shifts of IRS. Then, we employ the alternating optimization, successive convex approximation and semi-definite relaxation to tackle the non-convex problems for the two target cases. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
