Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a set of frequency components to use in sidelink operation based at least in part on an inter-band carrier aggregation configuration. In some aspects, the set of frequency components includes one or more frequency components in a first frequency band and one or more frequency components in a second frequency band. The UE may communicate with another UE over a sidelink using one or more beams that are selected based at least in part on channel conditions associated with the one or more frequency components in the first frequency band and channel conditions associated with the one or more frequency components in the second frequency band. Numerous other aspects are provided.
