The minimization of the free energy gives three stable structures: the ferroelectric Sm C$^*$ phase, the antiferroelectric Sm C$^*_A$ phase and the hellicoidally modulated structure of the Sm C$^*_H$ phase. The phase Sm C$^*_α$ can be recognized as the Sm C$^*_H$ phase below Sm A phase and as the Sm C$^*_{FI2}$ phase or as the Sm C$^*_{FI1}$ phase when appearing between the Sm C$^*$ phase and the Sm C$^*_A$ phase. Stability of these phases is analyzed and the phase diagram in the space of model parameters is presented.12 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Mol.Cryst. Liq. Cryts.
