N2 - The deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with uniform rectangular array (URA) offers a promising solution for simultaneous communication with multiple ground base stations (GBSs) and the sensing of ground-based target. However, designing a transmit beamforming system that optimizes communication while maintaining high sensing accuracy is challenging. In this regard, this paper proposes a comprehensive beam pattern optimization framework tailored for integrated sensing and communication in UAV applications, where the beam is synthesized based on the required steering direction, beam width, side lobe suppression, and nulling in targeted areas, providing robust connectivity. This comprehensive framework integrates sensing and communication, improving system performance and connectivity in UAV applications.
