The problem of equation of state for ferroelectric-antiferroelectric mixed systems in the whole region of a concentration change
(0≤n≤1) is discussed. The main peculiarity of the presented model turns out to be the possibility for the site dipole momentum to be oriented ferroelectrically in z-direction and antiferroelectrically in x-direction. Such a situation takes place in mixed compounds of KDP type. The different phases (ferro-, antiferro-, paraelectric, dipole glass and some combinations of them) have been found and analyzed.

Key words: ferroelectrics and antiferroelectrics, mixed systems, equation of state
