Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may tune a first voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to an offset frequency from a particular frequency, wherein the offset frequency differs from the particular frequency by an offset, wherein the offset is based at least in part on at least one parameter, and wherein the UE is configured to operate in an at least one carrier mode associated with at least one time division duplexed carrier; and communicate, while the first VCO is tuned to the offset frequency, a communication associated with a second VCO, wherein the second is tuned to the particular frequency. Numerous other aspects are provided.
