1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories and, based at least in part on information stored in the one or more memories, the one or more processors are configured to:
configure a plurality of orthogonal scrambling codes corresponding to a plurality of antenna panels of the UE; and
perform, for a first synchronization signal block (SSB) transmission, a beam sweeping operation over a set of first beams for each antenna panel in the plurality of antenna panels, wherein, for a transmitted first signal in each symbol of the first SSB transmission, each antenna panel in the plurality of antenna panels receives the transmitted first signal via a beam in the set of first beams using an orthogonal scrambling code in the plurality of orthogonal scrambling codes corresponding to the antenna panel.
