Sounding reference signal insertion loss imbalance indication and compensation

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• transmitting an indication of compensation for insertion loss between sounding reference signal (SRS) ports;
• transmitting in a first set of SRS resources using a first set of SRS ports;
• and
• transmitting in a second set of SRS resources using a second set of SRS ports,
• wherein each set of SRS ports consists of one SRS port or two SRS ports, and
• wherein a transmit power associated with the second set of SRS ports is adjusted to match a transmit power associated with the first set of SRS ports.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors, the one or more processors, individually or collectively and based at least in part on information stored in the one or more memories, being configured to:
• transmit an indication of a difference between a transmit power associated with a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource and a transmit power associated with a second SRS resource, wherein the second SRS resource is associated with a first SRS port and a second SRS port;
• and
• transmit a set of SRSs using the second SRS resource,
• wherein a transmit power associated with the second SRS port is adjusted to match a transmit power associated with the first SRS port.
