Nova Microwave

Nova Microwave designs and manufactures a comprehensive line of circulators for commercial applications, military applications, wireless and cellular markets. These devices are important for keeping signals flowing in one direction only. A circulator is a device that transports radio frequency or microwave signals from one port to another.  They typically have three ports.  They are made of magnets and ferrite materials with magnetic properties.  Circulators can be made to circulate clockwise or counterclockwise.  So the name “circulator” makes sense in that it transmits the signal around to the three ports.  These devices are also referred to as duplexers because they allow the transmission of two signals over one channel.  This allows a receiver and a transmitter to share the same antenna.  This is the most common use for a circulator.  When the transmitter sends a signal, the device directs the signal to the antenna port.  So in summary, a circulator is a device that is designed to direct radio frequencies or microwave signals from Port 1 to Port 2 with a minimum loss. 

Nova Microwave designs and manufactures a comprehensive line of isolators for commercial applications, military applications, cellular and wireless markets.  These devices are important to minimize the interference between incident and reflected signals.  These devices provide a constant impedance to the transmitter, thus maximizing the power transfer by absorbing the reflected signal into the internal terminations.  They are made of magnets and ferrite materials with magnetic properties.  Isolators are also available in counter-clockwise rotation.
