Abstract
A mechanism assuming a mismatch between the basic smectic periodicity and the amplitude and phase modulations periods of the mass density wave order parameter is proposed, for describing the incommensurate smectic-A structure found in dimesogenic liquid crystals. The different sequences of phases found in this family of compounds are described theoretically.
