A new method for determination of the non-constant component, α(E), of an ion mobility, k(E), is suggested. The method uses the relationship U_C (U_S ) that can be experimentally obtained with a spectrometer of ion mobility increment with planar drift chamber. (U_C is a compensating voltage, U_S is separating voltage amplitude.) A general equation for α(E) has been derived. We have explored the possibility of determination of α(E) from the experimental data for different types of U_S (t). In two specific cases, analytical solutions have been obtained.

Keywords: determination of ion mobility, theory, FAIMS, differential mobility spectrometry
