Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) and a network node may determine a configuration that indicates an antenna switching point associated with an uplink communication configured for multiple repetitions. The UE may transmit one or more repetitions of the uplink communication using a first transmit antenna prior to the antenna switching point. The UE may transmit one or more repetitions of the uplink communication using a second transmit antenna after the antenna switching point. The network node may perform channel estimation for the uplink communication based at least in part on the configuration that indicates the antenna switching point. Numerous other aspects are described.
