150W Drone Jamming Module – 5.8GHz LDMOS Block

Heavy‑Hitting Power for the 5.8GHz Band

The 5.8GHz ISM band is a favourite for drone video downlinks and high‑speed telemetry – it offers wide bandwidth and less congestion than 2.4GHz in many areas. To effectively disrupt these signals at longer ranges or in harsh RF environments, you need serious output power. This 150W drone jamming module delivers exactly that, pushing a solid 150W across the 5725‑5850MHz window. It is built for operators who demand reach and reliability, whether you are protecting a large perimeter or countering long‑range UAV threats.

LDMOS – The Workhorse for 5.8GHz High Power

At 5.8GHz, GaN often gets the attention, but LDMOS remains a compelling choice for high‑power applications where cost and availability matter. This module uses mature LDMOS technology with a proven track record in microwave links and radar systems. The internal matching network keeps output VSWR below 2.0:1 across the full band, and the efficiency sits at ≥40% – impressive for a 150W device at this frequency. The die is mounted on a thermally conductive metal base that spreads heat effectively, allowing sustained operation without premature degradation.

Integrated Sweep Source – One Less Component

External signal generators add cost, cabling, and failure points. This 150W drone jamming module includes a high‑speed frequency‑sweeping source that generates a continuous interference waveform optimised for 5.8GHz receivers. The sweep rate is factory‑tuned for common drone video protocols, but we can adjust it if you have specific hopping patterns to counter. For advanced users who prefer external modulation, we offer a variant with a bypass input – just specify your requirement when ordering.

Power, Current, and Control Interface

The drone jamming module runs on a DC supply between 24V and 29V – 28V is the sweet spot. At full 150W output, it draws up to 15.0A, so you will need a power supply rated at least 500W with some headroom. The enable logic is refreshingly simple: apply +5V or leave the control pin floating to turn the amplifier on; ground it to shut down. This TTL‑compatible interface works with any standard microcontroller, manual switch, or remote relay. The RF input and output are both SMA female connectors – robust and easy to integrate with standard test cables and antennas.

Absorbing‑Type VSWR Protection

Field deployments are messy – antennas get knocked, cables work loose, and loads change. This module includes an absorbing‑type VSWR protection circuit that dissipates reflected energy rather than abruptly cutting off the output. That means when your antenna system goes out of spec, the module gracefully reduces power instead of failing catastrophically. This feature alone saves you from costly field replacements and downtime. Combined with internal over‑temperature sensing, the module protects itself without interrupting your mission.

Thermal Management and Physical Integration

Measuring 168.5 mm long, 84.5 mm wide, and 23 mm tall, this 150W drone jamming module shares the same robust mechanical footprint as our 80W LDMOS block – making it a drop‑in upgrade for existing systems. At 0.55 kg, it is heavy enough to indicate serious hardware but still manageable for rack or vehicle mounting. The metal baseplate is flat and ready for thermal grease and heatsink attachment. For continuous full‑power operation, we strongly recommend a forced‑air heatsink or a cold plate. The ambient operating range is ‑20 to +65°C; above 55°C, derate or add active cooling.

Practical Deployment Scenarios

We have supplied this module to customers building fixed‑site anti‑drone perimeters, mobile jamming vehicles, and even ship‑based systems. The 5.8GHz band is critical for high‑definition video links, and 150W gives you the margin to overcome terrain clutter and atmospheric attenuation. Users report effective jamming ranges well beyond what lower‑power units can achieve, especially when paired with a high‑gain directional antenna. The absorbing VSWR protection is particularly valued in field conditions where antenna swaps are common.

Customisation and Final Remarks

While the standard unit is tuned for the full 5725‑5850MHz range, we can narrow the band or adjust the sweep rate to match your specific threat environment. Mechanical customisations – connector orientation, mounting hole patterns, or overall height – are possible with modest lead times. This 150W drone jamming module is not for every application, but when you need distance and authority in the 5.8GHz band, it is hard to beat. Order a sample, bolt it to a capable heatsink, and see what real power looks like.
