METHOD OF REPAIRING PACKET OF GAS-FILLED INTEGRATED CIRCUIT MODULES AND DEVICE FOR REALISING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G01M19/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for diagnosing and repairing gas-filled integrated circuit modules of radar stations during operation. The method is based on using sets of spare parts and accessories for packets of same type integrated circuit modules (spare parts, tools and accessories), for which faulty integrated circuit modules coming from operation sites are accumulated to a number calculated for spare parts, tools and accessories. The integrated circuit modules are then checked for conformity of electrical parametres and requirements for air tightness. In case of non-conformity, the integrated circuit module is opened, the fault is located, the detected wiring defects are eliminated, faulty elements are replaced with elements from spare parts, tools and accessories, electrical parametres of the integrated circuit modules are checked, the integrated circuit modules are filled with inert gas and sealed. The device is in form of a self-contained mobile repair bay for diagnosing and repairing gas-filled integrated circuit modules. The device is placed in a container which can be carried by any mode of transport, and the container consists of work spaces on which there are three workstations (WS-1, WS-2, WS-3) for carrying out all operations for repairing integrated circuit modules, and auxiliary compartments. WS-1 is meant for storing repaired integrated circuit modules and integrated circuit modules coming in for repair, sealing and checking air tightness, filling the integrated circuit modules with inert gas, painting and drying them. WS-2 is meant for opening and closing the integrated circuit modules, replacing components and separate radio electronic articles. WS-3 is meant for monitoring and diagnosing faults in integrated circuit modules and adjustment operations.

EFFECT: possibility of diagnosing and repairing integrated circuit modules of radar stations during operation, and reduced volume and cost of spare parts, tools and accessories.
