ADVANCED BEAMFORMING AND ANTENNA TECHNOLOGIES

Electronic scanning array in development

Novaa develops electronically scanned array innovations and antenna solutions that reduce complexity, improve SWaP-C, expand capability, and enable scalable systems

Advanced RF Innovations for Commercial and Aerospace and Defense High Performance Communications and Sensing

WHO WE ARE

Novaa is an advanced RF array technology and architecture company


We are not an antenna manufacturer, a backend radio company, a components supplier, nor a generic R&D services firm


We develop differentiated solutions for complex aperture problems

WE DEMONSTRATE DIFFERENTIATION
THROUGH ENGINEERING OUTCOMES AND EVIDENCE

Novaa develops advanced RF architectures and antenna technologies, and designs of electronically scanned systems and solutions that are tailored for the rigorous demands of Space, Defense, and Telecommunications.

 

We are dedicated to pioneering new, low-cost array solutions that disrupt the status quo of modern, expensive RF hardware.

Alternatively, our deep-tech portfolio of innovative low-cost architectures, antenna and beamforming technologies, and ultra-wideband multifunctional systems may mean your program’s critical research is already foundational to our current IP. By leveraging our established developments in UWB antennas, low SWaP-C arrays, mmWave, Antenna on Chip (AoC), and Antenna in Package (AiP) technologies reaching W-Band, your team can significantly mitigate technical risk and compress delivery schedules. 

Whether you require a bespoke design from the ground up, or wish to adapt our existing state-of-the-art microelectronics, we are committed to engineering the precise antenna systems your mission demands. Solutions that you and your customers need and can afford.​

As importantly, we provide a high-fidelity partnership rather than standard off-the-shelf hardware sales. Our development model is built on close technical collaboration, aligned with your engineers to apply innovative phased array technologies to complex aperture challenges and achieve your program goals. When your project moves toward production; we can if needed, integrate our network of certified industrial partners to handle large-scale manufacturing, qualification, and environmental testing, ensuring a seamless transition from prototype to a field-ready phased array technology, or asset.

We're always happy to answer any question, or provide a quick brief about our work, or discuss your specific areas of interest. Don't hesitate to contact us. 

WE WORK AT THE RF FRONT-END

We solve difficult problems at the aperture and RF front end where bandwidth, power, thermal load, complexity, calibration, integration, manufacturability, and cost determine whether advanced systems can scale.

Our work can be developed into mission-specific modules, apertures, and prototype systems, then transitioned to customers and industry partners for system integration and production.

WHAT WE DESIGN

Dual Band Systems

Multiple frequency bands operating from one aperture, so communications and radar sensing share a single physical footprint with no second antenna to integrate.

Low SWaP-C Arrays

Beam steering that reduces dependence on power-hungry T/R modules, lowering power draw, thermal load, and cost instead of adding active circuitry.

And much more.

Tell us about other areas of interest you may have - our experience is wide-ranging

UWB Arrays

Ultra-wideband apertures reaching 10:1 bandwidth, including fixed-beam and sector designs at low frequency, where wideband performance is hardest to hold.

mmWave Arrays 

Scalable apertures across Ka-, V-, E-, and W-band, where manufacturing tolerance and thermal behavior drive performance as much as electromagnetic design.

SATCOM Apertures

Compact, low-cost apertures for commercial constellations and user terminals, offering an upgrade path from legacy UHF links to higher data rates.

Assured PNT

Anti-jam, anti-spoof, and multipath resilience built at the antenna layer: a plug-and-play GNSS upgrade at low SWaP-C and attritable cost.

MORE CAPABILITY SHOULD NOT REQUIRE MORE COMPLEXITY

Conventional electronically scanned arrays often increase capability by multiplying hardware.

Larger apertures and broader system requirements can mean more elements, more channelization, more RF electronics, more power, more heat, more interconnects, more calibration, more failure points, spiraling costs. You get the 'picture'.

 

That approach does not scale well.

Our approach differs. Novaa develops architectures intended to change the relationship between aperture capability and system complexity. Call us to discuss how we may be able to help you reduce complexity and costs in arrays with architectures that scale.
