Valvo Bauelemente GmbH (Valvo), a subsidiary of Microwave Techniques LLC, is a company specializing in the manufacture of passive RF and microwave components, namely, circulators, isolators, loads, and more. Based in Hamburg, Germany, the company was long a part of Philips group, prior to spinning off independently in 1999.
Since then, the company has specialized in the manufacture of advanced microwave circulators and isolators for a myriad of cutting-edge applications. Rapid implementation of tailored type designs, which specially adapts to individual constraints, is one main focus of Valvo Bauelemente GmbH. In 2023, Valvo was acquired by Microwave Techniques LLC, creating a global leader in 2.45 GHz microwave circulators, isolators, loads, and other devices.
Valvo Circulators
Valvo circulators are passive components with three or four ports. Most commonly used types are junction circulators, lumped-element circulators and waveguide circulators. For the sake of compactness circulators normally use standardized coaxial connectors, e.g. SMA or N, but also solder tabs or other solderable alternatives. Waveguide circulators usually come along with standardized flange joining, suitable for the respective frequency range mating the used waveguide. Circulators may be equipped with additional elements, e.g. monitors, tuning elements or other ancillary functions.
Valvo Isolators
Valvo isolators are passive 2-port components. Valvo offers a comprehensive set of available isolators, which may be designed as junction, lumped-element or waveguide types and are optimized for various applications. The Valvo product range covers a large variety of combinations regarding size, bandwidth, connector style and power handling capability. Besides coaxial connectors, e.g. SMA or N, versions with solder tabs respectively mating standard flanges for waveguide versions are available.
