60W GaN UAV Jammer Module: Powerful 2.2-2.4 GHz Unit

The 60W GaN UAV jammer module is a compact GaN-based RF deck designed for 2200–2400MHz counter-UAS applications. It puts a 60W output stage, a built-in high-speed sweep source, and an absorptive VSWR protection circuit into a 138×50.5×17mm aluminum housing. The module weighs only 0.22kg and runs from a 12–14V DC rail, which makes it easier to fit into portable or vehicle-mounted jamming systems than many higher-voltage LDMOS decks.

GaN Design in the 60W GaN UAV Jammer Module

The GaN output device inside the 60W GaN UAV jammer module keeps the module efficient at 60W while working across 2200–2400MHz. Efficiency is rated at 40% or higher, and the RF output is matched to 50Ω through an SMA female connector. Output VSWR is specified at 2.0 or less, so minor antenna mismatches do not immediately stress the final stage. The internal sweep source removes the need for an external DDS or function generator, so you can drop this deck into an existing RF chain with fewer boxes.

Because the interference source is built in, the module behaves as a self-contained analog jammer. The high-speed sweep moves across the full band, which helps deny frequency-hopping drones that rely on 2.2–2.4GHz control links.

Supply Voltage and Control Logic

The 60W GaN UAV jammer module accepts 12–14V DC and can draw up to 13A at full output. A regulated 13.8V supply with at least 13A continuous rating is a practical choice. If your system already uses a 12V battery, make sure the wiring and connectors can handle the current without excessive voltage drop. The control line enables the module when you apply +5V or leave it floating, and disables it when you pull the line to ground. LEDs show power switch, overvoltage, and overtemperature status.

The 60W GaN UAV jammer module does not include reverse-polarity protection, so double-check the DC input before powering up. Use a current-limited supply during bench testing to avoid overcurrent damage. The absorptive VSWR protection helps protect the GaN transistor from reflected power, but it is not a substitute for a good antenna match.

Thermal and Mechanical Notes

The board is 138mm long, 50.5mm wide, and 17mm thick. It weighs 0.22kg, so it adds very little mass to a portable counter-drone payload. The metal base plate must be mounted to a flat heatsink or chassis surface with thermal interface material. Even at 40% efficiency, 60W RF output means roughly 90W of DC input and around 30W or more of heat to dissipate. Do not run the module in free air for extended periods without a proper thermal path.

The SMA female output is on the end panel. Use a torque wrench rated for SMA connectors to avoid damaging the center pin. Keep the output cable as short as possible to reduce insertion loss and maintain effective radiated power.

Typical Deployments

This 60W GaN UAV jammer module fits fixed, vehicle-mounted, and man-portable counter-drone systems. The 12–14V supply requirement makes it compatible with lead-acid or lithium battery packs commonly used in field equipment. The built-in sweep source and compact form factor reduce the number of external modules needed, which simplifies system integration and saves space in crowded RF enclosures.

Check local regulations before transmitting. Unauthorized jamming is restricted in many countries. The FCC jammer enforcement page outlines why permission is usually required.
