contents A key challenge in future 6G Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) networks is to define the angular operations of transmitter and receiver, i.e., the sampling task of the angular domains, to acquire information about the environment. In this work we extend previous analysis for optimal angular sampling of monostatic setups to two-dimensional bistatic deployments, that are as important as the former in future ISAC cellular scenarios. Our approach overcomes the limitations of suboptimal prior art sampling and interpolation techniques, such as spline interpolation. We demonstrate that separating azimuth operations of the two transmit and receive arrays is optimal to sample the angular domain in an array-specific normalized angular frequency (NAF). This allows us to derive a loss-less reconstruction of the angular domain, enabling a more efficient and accurate sampling strategy for bistatic sensing applications compared to legacy approaches. As demonstrated by different Monte Carlo experiments, our approach enables future bistatic ISAC deployments with better performance compared to the other suboptimal solutions.
