Main Responsibilities

• 2D-Video-Distrometer product management
• analyses of tropospheric radio path propagation effects

Career

Michael Schönhuber studied Electrical Engineering at the Vienna University of Technology and the Graz University of Technology / Austria. Diploma and Doctoral Thesis are related to tropospheric wave propagation, since 1988 he is employed as a research scientist at the Institute of Applied Systems Technology.

His activities include analyses of weather radar reflectivities and investigation of tropospheric radio path propagation effects. His special interest is dedicated to development of the 2D-Video-Distrometer and user support. Conference presentations and session chairman, as well as training on instruments complete his professional record. A number of publications (in journals and conference proceedings, contract reports) give a documentation of his work.
