There are ten chapters of an interdisciplinary nature on linear and
nonlinear parametric phenomena. Typical topics include: generator
conversion of signals, chaotic instability of systems with delaying
self-action, adaptic self-tuning and resonance. The analysis is
qualitative and quantitative, both analytical and numerical.
Parametric phenomena play a very important part in mechanical
systems. This book aims at translating these results for similar
phenomena in radiophysics. It can be used in this specific
engineering context.
