contents Mono-static sensing operations in ISAC perform joint beamforming between transmitter and receiver. However, in contrast to pure radar systems, ISAC requires to fulfill communications tasks and to retain the corresponding design constraints for at least one half-duplex antenna array. This shifts the available degrees of freedom to the design of the second half-duplex array, that completes the mono-static sensing setup of the 6G ISAC system. Consequently, although it is still possible to achieve the gains foreseen by the radar sparse array literature, it is necessary to adapt these considerations to the new ISAC paradigm. In this work, we propose a model to evaluate the angular capabilities of a mono-static setup, constrained to the shape of the communications array and its topology requirements in wireless networks. Accordingly, we enhance the joint angular capabilities by utilizing a sparse element topology of the sensing array with the same number of elements. Our analysis is validated by simulation experiments, confirming the value of our model in providing system designers with a tool to drastically improve the trade-off between angular capabilities for sensing and the cost of the deployed hardware.
