30W GaN Anti-Drone Module | 3400–3600MHz Analog Sweep Jammer

Compact Counter-UAS Powerhouse

This 30W GaN anti-drone module brings serious RF punch to a package that barely exceeds the footprint of a smartphone. Operating across 3400–3600MHz, it targets a band increasingly used by commercial and industrial UAVs. The built-in fast-sweeping analog source generates continuous interference, making it a drop-in solution for portable jammers, fixed-site C-UAS barriers, and vehicle-mounted defense units.

What sets this unit apart is its balance of output, thermal behaviour, and real-world usability. With 30W of saturated power and a conversion efficiency above 40%, it runs cooler than older LDMOS designs, which simplifies heat sinking and extends duty cycle in continuous operation. The anti-drone module draws a maximum of 3.2A at 24–29V DC, making it suitable for battery-powered platforms where current budget is tight.

GaN Advantage in a Rugged Enclosure

The use of gallium nitride (GaN) technology is not just a spec sheet boast—it delivers measurable field benefits. Compared to silicon-based amplifiers, this 30W GaN anti-drone module maintains output flatness across the entire 200MHz span while keeping harmonic content low. The housing, machined from lightweight alloy, acts as both a heatsink and an EMI shield. Base material and internal layout are optimised for low parasitic capacitance, which preserves the rise/fall integrity of the fast sweep waveform.

Operators will appreciate the simple on/off interface: +5V or floating enables the output, while grounding disables it. This logic-level control ties directly into standard microcontroller GPIOs or manual toggle switches, removing the need for additional driver circuitry.

Fast Analog Sweep – Why It Matters

Unlike fixed-frequency jammers, this module’s internal sweep source continuously hops across the 3400–3600MHz range at a rate exceeding typical drone frequency-hopping speeds. This means a single module can disrupt multiple channels or spread-spectrum signals within the band, increasing the probability of link loss without requiring external waveform generators. The sweep rate is factory-set for optimal coverage, but the module accepts external modulation input for custom sweeps if your application demands it.

Output VSWR is rated at ≤2.0:1, providing a comfortable margin against antenna mismatch in field-deployed systems. The SMA female output connector is compatible with most standard antennas and cabling, reducing integration headaches.

Built for Harsh Environments

Rated for -20°C to +65°C ambient operation, this module withstands direct sunlight, vehicle engine bays, and cold-start conditions. The protection circuitry includes over-current and reverse-polarity safeguards, though the unit does not feature a built-in fan—relying instead on conducted cooling through its mounting base. For continuous high-power operation, we recommend attaching it to a metal chassis or a passive heatsink with thermal interface material.

Practical Integration Notes

Integration effort is minimal. The four mounting holes align with standard 46.5mm pitch patterns, and the overall height of 21mm fits inside most handheld gimbal housings. For system designers, the combination of high power density and low profile makes this 30W GaN anti-drone module a compelling alternative to larger, heavier racks. It is also a good fit for rapid prototyping, because the only external parts needed are a DC supply, an antenna, and a 5V enable signal.
