Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for multiplexing new radio (NR) physical broadcast channels (NR-PBCHs) with NR synchronization signals. An exemplary method that may be performed by a wireless node includes determining a frequency offset to use in transmitting one or more synchronization signals and one or more physical broadcast channels (PBCHs) and transmitting the one or more synchronization signals, using a synchronization signal (SS) transmission band having an SS center frequency, and the one or more PBCHs, using a PBCH transmission band having a PBCH center frequency that differs from the SS center frequency by the determined frequency offset.
