This paper studies the beamformer design for an integrated sensing and communication system where simultaneous communication for multiple downlink users and bistatic sensing for a point target are realized. Firstly, to avoid self-interference in monostatic settings, we establish the bistatic sensing model where the sensing performance is measured by the Cramér-Rao bound (CRB) for the target's coordinates and the communication performance by the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). We aim to minimize the CRB while ensuring a predefined SINR for each user. Then, we derive a closed-form beamformer for the single-user case that proves near-optimal. For the multi-user case, we introduce a beamformer design algorithm based on semidefinite relaxation and a suboptimal design algorithm based on successive convex approximation with reduced complexity. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate the solutions.
