Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For instance, a wireless device may measure a first portion of a cyclic prefix (CP) of a wireless transmission received using a first subset of a set of analog receive elements. The wireless device may measure a second portion of the CP of the wireless transmission using a second subset of the set of analog receive elements. The wireless device may determine a beam gain for the set of analog receive elements based on measuring the first portion of the CP received using the first subset and the second portion of the CP received using the second subset. In some examples, measuring using the first subset and the second subset may be associated with improved automatic gain control performance and/or transmission power control as compared to measuring with each of a set of analog receive elements.
