Abstract
Ever since the publication of the analysis methods by Knutson and whitby (1975), differential mobility analyzer (DMA) has become most useful instrument for the research of aerosol science. However, over the past forty years, researchers in this community have not found out an accurate methods for the data analysis of DMA. To solve this longstanding issue, we have addressed the mathematical theory of the electrical mobility classification. Finally we come up with the new accurate response function which is called critically transferred response function (CTR function), if you will. CTR function are integral function and are composed by two transfer function and one distribution function of measuring objects. CTR function of DMA create two typical output data, one is linear data and the other is non-linear data. These output data are strongly related the distribution of measuring object.

Encouraged by these successful theoretical and mathematical treatment, we will explain the performances for linear output data in this first presentation. And, we will explain the typical performance for non-linear output data in the second presentation.
