contents The coexistence of radar and communications in wireless systems marks a paradigm shift for the sixth-generation (6G) networks. As 6G systems are expected to operate at higher frequencies and employ larger antenna arrays than fifth-generation (5G) systems, they can also enable more accurate sensing capabilities. To this end, the integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) paradigm aims to unify the physical and radio frequency (RF) domains by introducing the sensing functionality into the communication network. However, the clutter poses a challenge, as it can significantly degrade the sensing accuracy in ISAC systems. This paper presents a novel two-dimensional root multiple signal classification (2D-rootMUSIC)-based algorithm for static background clutter suppression. Computer simulation results indicate that the proposed method effectively mitigates the strong background clutter, yields accurate parameter estimation performance, and offers a notable improvement in the signal-to-clutter-and-noise ratio (SCNR), while outperforming the prior-art benchmark methods.
