80W Drone Jammer Module – 1800‑2000MHz LDMOS Block

The Right Power for the Crowded 1800‑2000MHz Band

Many commercial drones and remote‑controlled systems rely on the 1800‑2000MHz band for control links and telemetry – it offers a good balance between range and data rate. To effectively counter these signals, you need an amplifier that can deliver sustained power without breaking the bank. This 80W drone jammer module is built around LDMOS technology, a mature and cost‑effective choice for this frequency range. It pushes a solid 80W of clean output, giving you the reach to disrupt command links even in moderately cluttered environments.

LDMOS: Tried‑and‑True for Mid‑Band Jamming

While GaN steals the spotlight at higher frequencies, LDMOS remains the workhorse for 1.8‑2.0 GHz applications. It offers excellent linearity, good efficiency (≥40% here), and a forgiving gate drive – making it easier to integrate into existing systems. The die is mounted on a thermally conductive metal base, and the internal matching network keeps output VSWR below 2.0:1 across the entire band. You get consistent performance without the premium price tag of wide‑bandgap devices, which matters when you are equipping multiple jamming stations.

All‑in‑One Sweep Source Saves Space

No external signal generator? No problem. This 80W drone jammer module houses a high‑speed frequency‑sweeping source that produces a continuous interfering waveform optimised for the 1800‑2000MHz window. The sweep rate is factory‑set for maximum disruption, but we can tailor it to your specific protocols – just ask. If you prefer to use your own VCO or SDR, we offer a version with an input bypass, though the built‑in source already covers most standard UAV command frequencies.

Power, Control, and Interface Details

The module operates from a DC supply between 24V and 29V – 28V is the sweet spot. At full 80W output, it draws up to 10.0A, so a 300W power supply with some headroom is recommended. The enable logic is straightforward: apply +5V or leave the control pin floating to turn the amplifier on; ground it to shut down. This makes it easy to interface with a remote switch or a microcontroller. The RF output uses a rugged SMA female connector – standard for this power level – and the input is also SMA, accepting a drive signal up to about +10 dBm.

Protection You Can Count On

Field gear takes hits – mismatched antennas, accidental disconnections, or high reflected power. This drone jammer module includes an absorbing‑type VSWR protection circuit that dissipates reflected energy instead of simply cutting off. That means no sudden output drop‑out, just a graceful reduction if the load goes out of spec. The internal thermal design, combined with a large metal spreader, allows operation from ‑20°C to +65°C ambient. For continuous full‑power use, we strongly advise attaching a heatsink with forced air – the module itself does not include a fan, but the baseplate is flat for easy thermal coupling.

Mechanical Integration and Cooling

Measuring 168.5 mm long, 84.5 mm wide, and only 23 mm tall, this 80W drone jammer module fits neatly into standard 19″ rack drawers or compact portable cases. At 0.55 kg, it is light enough for handheld disruptors yet robust enough for fixed installations. Four mounting holes at the corners let you secure it to your chassis. Apply a good thermal grease (≥3 W/m·K) to the entire base before bolting down – this ensures that the LDMOS die stays within its safe operating area even during prolonged jamming missions.

Field Notes and Customisation

We have seen this module used in both ground‑based and vehicle‑mounted systems, and feedback highlights its reliability and ease of integration. The built‑in sweep source eliminates the need for an extra box, and the simple enable control integrates with any standard logic. If you need a different sweep rate, a different connector orientation, or even a higher power variant, our engineering team can accommodate custom orders with modest lead times. We also offer an external‑input option for those who want to feed their own modulation – just specify that when ordering.

Final Take

This 80W drone jammer module delivers proven performance in a compact, cost‑effective package. It is not the flashiest part on your bill of materials, but it gets the job done day after day. Whether you are protecting a perimeter, testing counter‑UAS tactics, or building a mobile jammer, this LDMOS block offers a sweet spot of power, size, and price. Order a sample, mount it properly, and watch your effective jamming radius grow.
