contents To exploit the potential of the RIS in supporting ISAC, this paper proposes a novel joint active and passive beamforming design for RIS-enabled ISAC system in consideration of the target size. First, the detection probability for target sensing is derived in closed-form based on the illumination power on an approximated scattering surface area of the target, and a new concept of ultimate detection resolution (UDR) is defined for the first time to measure the target detection capability. Then, an optimization problem is formulated to maximize the SNR at the UE under a minimum detection probability constraint. To solve the non-convex problem, a novel alternative optimization approach is developed. In this approach, the solutions of the communication and sensing beamformers are obtained by our proposed bisection-search based method. The optimal receive combining vector is derived from an equivalent Rayleigh-quotient problem. To optimize the RIS phase shifts, the Charnes-Cooper transformation is conducted to cope with the fractional objective, and a novel convexification process is proposed to convexify the detection probability constraint with matrix operations and a real-valued first-order Taylor expansion. After the convexification, a successive convex approximation (SCA) based algorithm is designed to yield a suboptimal phase-shift solution. Finally, the overall optimization algorithm is built, followed by detailed analysis on its computational complexity, convergence behavior and problem feasibility condition. Extensive simulations are carried out to testify the analytical properties of the proposed beamforming design, and to reveal two important trade-offs, namely, communication vs. sensing trade-off and UDR vs. sensing-duration trade-off. In comparison with several existing benchmarks, our proposed approach is validated to be superior when detecting targets with practical sizes.
