. It was shown an innovative approach to the glimmer discharge elementary processes mechanism aimed to improve the functioning of the devices in radio engineering and telecommunication systems. A row of contradictions in the modern theory of glow discharge cathode area indicate the inaccuracy of the existing assumptions and limitations of the model in which elementary processes and their interrelations are not fully taken into account. It is established that the glow discharge has a spatial inhomogeneity which is caused by the presence of a large number of discharge zones between the electrodes ambipolar diffusion and other factors. It is proved that in each of these zones one of several elementary processes prevails. Therefore there is a need to consistently examine individual bit areas and the most important elementary processes in them and then move on to investigate the relationship between them .It will allow constructing an incorrect mathematical model of a glow discharge. Based on verbal model the glimmer discharge mathematical model was built. This model describes the elementary processes real state of radio-technical devices basic charge carriers elements with certain restrictions.
