60W UAV Jammer Module – 5.8GHz GaN Analog Drone Jammer

For counter-UAS work in the 5.8GHz ISM band, a compact 60W UAV jammer module can cover many drone video and control links. This unit is built around a GaN power stage and includes a high-speed sweeping source, so it works as a standalone analog jammer rather than a bare amplifier. It is rated for 5725–5850MHz, making it a good fit for systems that target common FPV and commercial drone frequencies.

GaN Output Stage for 5.8GHz

At 60W output into 50Ω, this 60W UAV jammer module uses a GaN device to keep the housing small and efficiency above 40%. The module measures 138×50.5×17mm and weighs 0.22kg, which is light enough for gimbal or mast-mounted counter-UAS builds. Input voltage is DC 12–14V, with a maximum current draw of 13A at full power. A 12V/15A supply or a 14V/20A supply gives useful headroom. Output VSWR is rated up to 2.0, but a well-matched antenna keeps the final stage cooler and preserves output power.

Integrated High-Speed Sweep Source

Instead of feeding the module with an external DDS or noise source, the 60W UAV jammer module has a built-in high-speed sweep source. That analog front end continuously sweeps across 5725–5850MHz, which is enough to disrupt frequency-hopping video and RC links. Because there is no digital modulation stage, the RF path stays straightforward and can be keyed on and off without boot time. Integrators simply supply DC, connect an antenna, and toggle the switch control line.

Control, Status, and Protection

The switch control pin enables output when it sees +5V or is left floating, and grounding the pin disables the module. This makes it easy to drive from a relay, microcontroller GPIO, or a simple toggle switch. The 60W UAV jammer module also includes protection LEDs for power, VSWR fault, and over-temperature status. Built-in absorptive VSWR protection helps prevent damage if the antenna is disconnected or damaged during operation. For continuous duty, airflow over the aluminum housing is recommended, especially in warm weather or sealed enclosures.

Power and Thermal Considerations

At 13A maximum current draw, the 60W UAV jammer module needs a solid DC feed. Use short, thick power cables to avoid voltage drop; at 12V, even a half-volt drop can reduce output power. The DC input should be filtered if the module shares a battery with other electronics. Typical efficiency is at least 40%, so roughly 150W of heat must be removed at full output. In open-air mounts, natural convection may be enough, but in a closed enclosure, add a fan or heat sink. The 17mm height allows stacking multiple modules for multi-band systems, but leave spacing for airflow.

Typical Deployments

The 60W UAV jammer module fits well in fixed-site perimeter protection, event security, and vehicle-mounted counter-UAS systems. Its SMA female output and 50Ω impedance make it compatible with common 5.8GHz antennas, including panel and omnidirectional types. Because it covers 5725–5850MHz, it is especially useful against drones that rely on 5.8GHz analog or digital video links. When used with higher-gain antennas, keep the cable run short and use low-loss coax to avoid wasting RF power.

Final Notes for Integrators

Overall, this 60W UAV jammer module provides a practical 5.8GHz building block for counter-UAS integrators. It combines a GaN amplifier, sweep source, and protection in a compact package, which reduces wiring and setup time. For systems that need a DC-powered, high-power RF stage in the 5725–5850MHz band, the module is easier to deploy than a multi-board analog chain.
