In this paper, we investigate an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-assisted integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system design in a clutter environment. Assisted by an IRS equipped with a uniform planar array (UPA), a multi-antenna base station (BS) is targeted for simultaneously sensing m...
