contents Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) have been recognized as a promising technology to enhance both communication and sensing performance in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems for future 6G networks. However, existing RIS optimization methods for improving ISAC performance are mainly based on semidefinite relaxation (SDR) or iterative algorithms. The former suffers from high computational complexity and limited scalability, especially when the number of RIS elements becomes large, while the latter yields suboptimal solutions whose performance depends on initialization. In this work, we introduce a lightweight RIS phase design framework that provides a closed-form solution and explicitly accounts for the trade-off between communication and sensing, as well as proportional beam gain distribution toward multiple sensing targets. The key idea is to partition the RIS configuration into two parts: the first part is designed to maximize the communication performance, while the second introduces small perturbations to generate multiple beams for multi-target sensing. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and demonstrate that it achieves performance comparable to SDR but with significantly lower computational complexity.
