60W Drone Jamming Module – Efficient 2010–2170MHz GaN

Finding the sweet spot between portable power and effective range is tricky. Too heavy, and you lose mobility. Too weak, and you waste deployment time. The 60W Drone Jamming Module hits that balance neatly. Using GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology, it pushes 60W across 2010–2170MHz – a band frequently occupied by 4G/5G‑based drone control links and HD video transmitters. At just 0.22kg and 17mm thick, this module slips into tight spaces without compromising output.

Why 2010–2170MHz Matters for Drone Defense

This frequency range sits right in the upper part of the UMTS band and overlaps with some LTE downlink channels. Many commercial and enterprise drones use these frequencies for robust, long‑range command and telemetry. The 60W Drone Jamming Module concentrates its swept interference here, effectively breaking the communication bridge between pilot and aircraft. The internal high‑speed oscillator ensures that frequency‑agile systems cannot lock onto a stable channel.

GaN – The Smart Choice for 60W Output

Gallium Nitride shines at this power tier. Compared to LDMOS, GaN offers better efficiency and higher power density, meaning you get more output from a smaller package. With ≥40% efficiency, the 60W Drone Jamming Module runs cooler and draws less current per watt than older technologies. This directly translates to longer battery life in portable setups and simpler thermal management in fixed installations.

Slim Profile, Serious Performance

• Dimensions: 138×50.5×17 mm – ultra‑thin for rack or gimbal mounting.

• Weight: 0.22kg – adds minimal payload to UAVs or handheld systems.

• Base material: Aluminium‑copper compound for rapid heat spreading.

The slim design allows integrators to place the module behind display panels, inside drone ground stations, or even double‑stack units for multi‑band coverage without consuming excessive volume.

Power Flexibility – Runs on 12V Systems

One standout feature of this 60W Drone Jamming Module is its 12‑14V DC supply range. Unlike modules that require 28V or higher, this unit works directly from standard 12V batteries, vehicle power outlets, or small solar‑charged banks. Maximum current draw is 13A at full output – manageable with common DC‑DC converters or direct battery connections. This makes it a favourite for mobile teams and vehicle‑based counter‑UAS units.

Control and Connectivity

The on/off logic stays consistent: +5V or floating = on, ground = off. SMA female output connects to antennas without adaptor hassle. The module includes built‑in swept source – no external signal generator needed. Just apply power, connect your antenna, and the jamming begins automatically.

Thermal and Protection Features

Operating from -20°C to +65°C, this module handles harsh environments. The absorptive VSWR protection (≤2.0) guards against antenna mismatch, folding back power when needed. A red LED indicator alerts you when protection engages. While the module’s thin profile limits passive cooling surface, attaching it to a metal chassis or using a small fan enables continuous 60W operation without thermal rollback.

Typical Deployment Scenarios

• Vehicle‑mounted drone interdiction systems.

• Portable man‑pack units for field operators.

• Fixed‑site perimeter security with multiple distributed modules.

• UAV‑borne counter‑drone payloads (weight‑critical applications).

Absorptive Protection – A Reliability Bonus

The 60W Drone Jamming Module includes absorptive VSWR protection, similar to higher‑power designs. This approach absorbs reflected energy rather than bouncing it back into the amplifier, preventing phase distortion and thermal stress. It is a feature you rarely find in this power class, making this module exceptionally robust for field use where antenna conditions vary unpredictably.

Integration Tips

• Use low‑loss, low‑PIM cables for best efficiency.

• Mount the module with thermal paste against a metal surface for passive cooling.

• Keep the SMA connection clean and torque‑tightened to avoid intermittent faults.

Final Verdict

The 60W Drone Jamming Module offers a rare combination – GaN efficiency, 12V compatibility, and absorptive protection in a 17mm‑thin chassis. It does not pretend to be a 150W beast, nor does it claim ultra‑compact 30W compromises. Instead, it delivers honest 60W performance where it counts: mid‑band drone frequencies, field mobility, and system reliability. Whether you are building a mobile C‑UAS trailer or upgrading a perimeter defence network, this module earns its place. For further reading on GaN advantages, check out GaN vs LDMOS comparison.
