30W 5GHz UAV Jamming Module with Analog Sweep Source

Compact Power for the 5 GHz ISM Band

When you need reliable disruption across the upper C-band, a purpose-built RF deck makes all the difference. This 30W UAV Jamming Module delivers a full 30 watts across 4800 to 5000 MHz, comfortably covering the common 5.8 GHz ISM channels where many commercial and modified drones operate. Instead of bulky amplifier chains and separate signal generators, everything lives on a single aluminum-backed board ready for integration into handheld, vehicle-mounted, or fixed-site counter-drone systems. The compact footprint keeps payload weight minimal, which is critical for field deployment. We have seen integrators drop days of RF tuning by using this kind of self-contained block. The design works with a straightforward DC supply between 24 and 29 volts and draws no more than 3.2 amps at full saturated output, so you can plan power budgets without unpleasant surprises.

Built-In High-Speed Analog Sweep Source

What sets this board apart from a bare power amplifier is the integrated modulation engine. The 30W UAV Jamming Module contains a high-speed analog swept source that constantly races across the entire 4800–5000 MHz window, creating a moving wall of noise-like RF energy. This architecture is particularly effective against frequency-hopping spread spectrum control links and Wi-Fi-based video downlinks because it denies a clean channel anywhere in the band. Because the sweep is generated on the LDMOS final stage path, the waveform stays coherent and wideband without generating excessive spurs. There is no need for an external DDS, no IQ modulator wiring, and no fragile SMA patch cables carrying sensitive LO signals. When you apply power and the enable signal, the module immediately begins sweeping at a rate designed to overwhelm burst transmissions, making it a drop-in solution for system builders who want to skip the signal-chain design.

Designed for Seamless System Integration

System interfaces are kept intentionally simple. The RF output terminates at a standard SMA female connector, rated for 50 ohms with a VSWR no worse than 2.0:1. A simple TTL-compatible control line handles the on/off logic: float the pin or apply +5 V to activate jamming, and pull it to ground to shut down. That means a microcontroller GPIO, a physical toggle switch, or an external watchdog timer can manage the module without extra circuitry. Protection LEDs on the board give immediate visual confirmation of DC presence and fault conditions, helping field technicians troubleshoot quickly. The whole assembly measures just 115.5 mm by 46.5 mm with a slim 21 mm profile, and the mass sits at only 0.21 kg. Such dimensions allow multiple units to be stacked for multi-band platforms or embedded into sealed radomes and weatherproof enclosures without overhauling mechanical designs.

Proven Efficiency and Reliability in the Field

Efficiency numbers matter when you run from batteries or constrained vehicle alternators. The LDMOS transistor stage in this 30W UAV Jamming Module routinely achieves 40 percent or better power-added efficiency, meaning less energy turns into heat and more becomes useful jamming power. The base material—a treated aluminum alloy—serves as both the structural frame and the primary heatsink interface, so conduction cooling to a larger chassis is straightforward. The specified operating range stretches from minus 20 to plus 65 degrees Celsius, tested across long-duration key-down cycles. Over-temperature protection and automatic high-VSWR rollback shield the final transistor from antenna mismatch or accidental open-load conditions. Integrators continuously report that this level of built-in resilience cuts down on returns and field service calls. When you combine a robust amplifier chain, an always-active analog sweep, and a no-nonsense control interface in a palm-sized package, the result is a counter-UAS component that simply works from day one.
