Biography: Bio: Prof Michael J (Mike) Underhill, MA, PhD, FREng, FIET, MIEEE, FRSA, MRSGB

Mike Underhill received an MA in Physics at Oxford in 1960 and a PhD in Electronics at Surrey in 1972 (thesis: Control of Focused Electron Beams for Microcircuit Manufacture). He became a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) in 1993; belonged to FIET (FIERE and then FIEE) since 1982 and MIEEE since 2002; and has been a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) since 1992.
Mike has 31 years of experience in industry (Philips Research and Defence, MEL, and Thorn-EMI Sensors), 13 years in academe at the University of Surrey, and over 25 years of experience in advising MoD, mainly through DSAC. At MEL and Thorn-EMI, he was a company board level Technical Director and Engineering Director, respectively. At Surrey, he was Head of (EE) Department and then Dean of Engineering, before retirement in 2004. Until its closure in 2010, he was Chairman and Research Director of Toric Limited, an SME offering ‘embedded jitter suppression’. He is currently CEO of Underhill Research Limited since 2004, offering ‘scientific research services’ to MoD, industry and academe. He has 50 patents and over 80 papers. His research interests include oscillators, clocks, phase noise, and time jitter; RF electronics; electromagnetics, antennas, and propagation; communications, radar, and remote sensing; and complexity, information, systems, and applied control theory. The main research focus at present is on the wider application of electromagnetics throughout physics and presents and publishes frequently in PIERS conference proceedings in this connection. Currently, he lectures at the University of Surrey on Short Courses in Radar, RF, Microwaves, Antenna and Propagation. He is a longstanding contributor to the European Frequency and Time Forum (EFTF).
He has been a member of the RSGB and an active radio amateur for over 55 years. His other hobbies are travel, playing jazz keyboards, and ‘hack and bash’ gardening.

Agenda

The novel ‘small wideband loop-monopole’ typically covering 1.5 to over 200MHz will be demonstrated practically in the talk. It contradicts the generally accepted theoretical small antenna (Chu) limits and confirms the existence of Electromagnetic Coupling (EC). EC is an intrinsic part of the Coupled Transmission Line (CTL) Model of Electromagnetics which is found to be universally applicable throughout Physics, and Antennas and Propagation. For example it can be used replace, or alternatively upgrade, Maxwell’s Equations. The CTL Model is the basis of the new simulation and modelling paradigm ‘Analytic Region Modelling’ (ARM). This splits any problem into defined regions, in which one (EM) process is dominant, but in which more than one (EM) process mode can overlap and co-exist. Any problem or scenario throughout electromagnetics, antennas and propagation can thereby be partitioned into easily analytically computable pieces that can be re-assembled to solve very large hitherto insoluble problems. No matrix inversion is involved and so the ARM method is computationally very fast. Some simple examples will be demonstrated in the talk (using Mathcad). Thus ARM could well represent the future of EM modelling in Electromagnetics, Antennas and Propagation.
