1. An energy harvesting (EH)-capable device for wireless communications, comprising:
one or more memories storing processor-executable code; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the EH-capable device to:
transmit a capability report that indicates a capability of the EH-capable device to use a frequency scanning antenna array at the EH-capable device, wherein the capability report indicates one or more modes supported by the EH-capable device in association with use of the frequency scanning antenna array;
operate, in accordance with the capability of the EH-capable device, in a first mode of the one or more modes, wherein operation in the first mode comprises a first type of operation performed via a first antenna port associated with the frequency scanning antenna array; and
participate in communication of a first signal via the first antenna port in accordance with the first type of operation.
