GaN 50W Drone Jammer Module 5150-5250MHz – Lightweight & Efficient

The 5GHz Frontier

As drone manufacturers move away from the congested 2.4GHz band, many high-end UAVs now rely on the 5GHz spectrum for clean, high-bandwidth video downlinks and telemetry. The 5150-5250MHz slice, in particular, has become a hotspot for commercial and enterprise-grade drones that demand interference-free operation. Our 50W drone jammer module targets this exact range, delivering a potent 47±1 dBm of saturated output directly into the 5GHz band. Using state-of-the-art GaN-on-SiC technology, this module achieves what older LDMOS designs could only dream of – high power density, exceptional efficiency, and minimal weight. With a 50W drone jammer module like this in your counter-UAS arsenal, you can effectively sever the video link that gives drone operators their situational awareness, forcing them into blind operation or automated failsafe routines.

GaN Advantage – Power Meets Portability

The secret behind this module’s remarkable performance lies in its gallium nitride (GaN) architecture, grown on a silicon carbide substrate for optimal thermal and electrical characteristics. This is not your average silicon-based amplifier. The GaN design delivers 50W of RF power from a module that weighs just 300g and measures a mere 117×58×18mm. When you compare that to equivalent LDMOS modules, the weight savings are substantial – up to 60% lighter for the same output power. The AB-class GaN design ensures linearity while maintaining efficiency, and the copper-based heatsink integrated into the base efficiently draws heat away from the transistor junction. The operating voltage range of 24-28V accommodates most field power sources, with current draw ranging from 3.2A to 4.5A depending on the input level. For a 50W drone jammer module, these figures are exceptionally frugal, enabling extended battery life in portable systems and reduced thermal stress in fixed installations.

Thermal Management and Robust Construction

Reliability is paramount when you are deploying electronic warfare equipment in the field, and this 50W drone jammer module does not cut corners. The base material is a copper-clad carrier that sits beneath the GaN die, providing an efficient thermal path to the aluminium housing. The -20 to +65°C operating temperature range covers all but the most extreme environments, and the integrated over-temperature protection silently safeguards the amplifier when thermal limits are approached. Three LED indicators provide at-a-glance status: power-on, over-voltage, and over-temperature. The SMA female connector offers a secure, low-loss interface for antenna connections, maintaining the 50Ω impedance throughout the signal chain. The module is designed for both high reliability and ruggedness – no fragile internal wiring, no delicate tuning pots that can drift with vibration. Just solid-state engineering that you can depend on when it matters most.

Sweep Source and Customisation Options

The standard configuration includes a built-in high-speed noise modulation source that sweeps across the 5150-5250MHz band at a default 270KHz rate. This sweeping interference pattern is significantly more effective against modern digital receivers than a simple continuous wave, as it forces the drone’s error-correction circuitry into a constant state of recalibration. The sweep speed can be customised between 100-500KHz to match specific threat profiles. For more advanced requirements, we offer alternative front-end options including VCO, DDS, or SDR-based modulation. Each option changes the character of the interference, allowing you to tailor the 50W drone jammer module to your specific tactical needs. The input signal source is factory-set but fully configurable at the time of ordering – simply specify your preferred modulation type and sweep parameters, and we will deliver a module optimised for your application.

Integration and Field Deployment

Installing this 50W drone jammer module into your existing system is straightforward. The compact footprint leaves ample space for ancillary components, and the straightforward DC input and control interface simplify wiring. The enable logic is compatible with standard TTL levels – apply +5V or leave floating to activate the output, or ground the pin for disable. This makes it easy to integrate with microcontrollers, PLCs, or manual switches. For multi-band systems, you can stack multiple GaN modules side by side, covering 2.4GHz, 5.2GHz, and 5.8GHz simultaneously. The SMA output connects directly to any 50Ω antenna with appropriate power handling – we recommend a 5GHz directional panel or patch antenna for maximum effective range. Always test with a dummy load before connecting your antenna, and ensure your power supply can deliver at least 5A continuously to handle peak demands. With proper setup, this 50W drone jammer module will deliver consistent, reliable performance in both fixed defence installations and rapid-deployment portable kits.
