Powerful 50W GaN Drone Jamming Module 3.4-3.6 GHz

The 50W GaN Drone Jamming Module delivers reliable, wideband interference against commercial and custom drones operating between 3400 and 3600 MHz. Built on a gallium nitride on silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) process with a copper heat spreader, this module balances high power density with exceptional thermal performance—all inside a tiny 117 × 58 × 18 mm package weighing just 300 grams.

Why 3.4–3.6 GHz Matters in C-UAS

This mid-band spectrum is increasingly used for drone command and control, video downlinks, and telemetry. By saturating the channel, the 50W GaN Drone Jamming Module forces a return-to-home or landing sequence, significantly reducing response time. Paired with lower or higher-band modules, it becomes a core building block for layered drone defense. (explore drone frequency allocations at Microwave Journal.)

50W GaN Drone Jamming Module: Core Technical Highlights

Operating from a 24–28 V DC supply, the module draws between 3.2 A and 4.5 A while maintaining a solid 47 dBm ±1 dB (50 W) into a 50-ohm load. An integrated high-speed noise source generates instant barrage jamming; SMA female connectors keep RF routing clean. Onboard LEDs indicate power, over-voltage, and over-temperature status, simplifying field diagnostics. Gallium nitride technology enables this 50 W output from a footprint smaller than a typical smartphone—far more efficient than older LDMOS designs.

Instantaneous Wideband and Agile Scanning

Unlike tuned amplifiers, this GaN module covers the full 3.4–3.6 GHz span without retuning. The default analog sweep rate of 270 kHz can be custom-configured from 100 kHz to 500 kHz, letting operators match the scanning speed to agile frequency-hopping threats. This instantaneous bandwidth ensures that even fast-switching drones stay inside the jamming envelope.

Compact Integration for Field Deployments

At only 117 × 58 × 18 mm (custom dimensions available) and 300 g, the 50W GaN Drone Jamming Module slides easily into manpacks, small UGVs, or fixed-site arrays. The 50 Ω impedance simplifies antenna matching, and the copper carrier acts as a direct thermal interface for cold plates or finned heatsinks. Because of its low mass, it can also be embedded into drone-mounted counter-UAS payloads.

Custom Modulation and Waveform Flexibility

While the built-in noise source handles standard denial, users can specify a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), direct digital synthesizer (DDS), or software-defined radio (SDR) input at order time. This transforms the 50W GaN drone jamming module into a frequency-selective or protocol-aware jammer. For multi-threat environments, an external SDR can feed predefined waveform libraries, enabling real-time adaptation to emerging drone protocols.

System-Level Reliability and Protections

The GaN-on-SiC transistor with patented copper-base cooling runs cool even at full 50W CW. Protection circuits guard against over-voltage, over-temperature, and high VSWR events. The power LED confirms 28 V input, while the over-temp and over-voltage LEDs prevent damage. All units undergo a 24-hour burn-in at 47 dBm before shipment.

Real-World Use Cases

Security teams pair the 50W GaN Drone Jamming Module with higher-power units for multi-band coverage. It’s particularly effective in urban environments where compact size and low weight are essential. The module can also function as a standalone portable jammer for critical infrastructure or VIP protection, denying drone video feeds and control links instantly.
