Summary of the 1965 URSI Symposium at Delft, Netherlands: Sessions on Nonlinear and Transient Phenomena

Abstract

The 1965 symposium at Delft was the most recent of a series of triennial, international symposia on electromagnetic theory sponsored by URSI. Past meetings in this series have dealt largely with modern topics based on classical electromagnetic theory, such as boundary‐value problems, diffraction, scattering theory, antenna theory, microwave optics, propagation in various media. waveguides, surface waves, etc. As such, attention was focused almost exclusively on the behavior of electromagnetic waves propagating in, or in the presence of, media or structures which were linear, passive, and time‐invariant. The symposium at Delft, in contrast to the previous meetings in this series, had a significant number of contributions on problems involving either nonlinear, active, or time‐varying systems.
