Novaa is a leading innovator in Electronic Scanning Arrays

Accelerate your product to market.

Novaa excels at developing new and exciting customized antenna solutions (ESA, PESA, Reflectarrays, etc) for customers, but the ground breaking research for your product goals may have already been completed. Consider our existing spectrum of developments in low cost and multifunctional arrays that may enable a substantive reduction in development risk, costs, and timelines in your projects. In particular, our recent initiatives in high mmW, microelectronic technologies such as Antenna on Chip (AoC), System in Package (SiP), Antenna in Chip (AiP) represents unprecedented achievements up to W-Band, and a significant advance in the State of the Art of radio frequency antenna technologies.

We're always happy to brief you on our ongoing work, and how we think we can help you. Contact us to see if any of our existing low cost and extensible developments can accelerate your program's objectives. Or, whether we can rapidly develop a new antenna solution for you.

ABOUT US

We literally wrote the chapter on Ultra-wideband Phased Arrays in Antenna Engineering

And now, building upon our foundational research, our early work experiences in NASA, and ongoing initiatives with the DoD, we are expanding into commercial markets.

2016

YEAR FOUNDED

Novaa was originally a startup out of the United States Air Force Research Lab’s Catalyst Accelerator, and an early two-time finalist in the US Army's xTechSearch competition seeking the most innovative technologies amongst 100s of companies across the United States.

We have since established our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois with a satellite office in Dallas, Texas.

CLIENTS & PARTNERS

With over 25 commercial and defense related contracts, our current expansion plans include operations, and partnerships throughout North America, and internationally.

Our GOAL

Uncompromised Performance at Low Cost

Novaa provides uncompromised performance, game-changing innovation, and cost conscientious wireless RF solutions that global industries demand. We are the experts in innovative ultra-wideband antenna and RF designs.

Our goal is to build best in class applications that work in the most challenging environments, are cheap enough to deploy on massive scales, and are secure against bad actors.

We believe our work breaks the paradigm of entrenched and restrictive design approaches. These practices cause unnecessary tradeoffs that compromise either performance, cost, or both. Our focus on innovative approaches don't subject us to these same tired, conventional tradeoffs that other companies are forced to make. We think this is important to our customers.

As users of our technology, we wouldn't want to compromise.
