Transmit gain adjustments in ultra-wide bandwidth beamforming wireless communication systems

A method for wireless communication for use by a network node, the method comprising:

• transmitting first beamformed downlink wireless communication signals to an access terminal using a plurality of wireless communication beams configured as synchronization signal block (SSB) signals while applying beam-specific gain adjustments to the plurality of wireless communication beams, wherein the wireless communication beams have one or more different beamformed spatial orientation parameters and wherein the beam-specific gain adjustments are applied to at least one of the spatial orientation parameters;
• receiving a report from the access terminal providing received power information for the plurality of wireless communication beams;
• and
• transmitting a second beamformed downlink wireless communication signal to the access terminal as a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)/sounding reference signal (SRS) signal using a selected one of the plurality of wireless communication beams while applying a corresponding beam-specific gain adjustment, the beam selected based on information in the report.
