Hey guys and, of course, ladies. I was wondering if anyone knows the job outlook for Electrical Engineering concentrating on DSP and/or RF/Microwaves and E&M. I'm planning to get my M.S. EE at NYU-Poly on either one of the path. I would like to know:

which of the 2 has a better job opportunities?
which of the 2 is more versatile?
the nature of working environment?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Here the link to the courses offered by NYU-Poly

There is no way to answer your questions, as they depend a great deal on the engineer and the position you find yourself in. Both concentrations are highly sought after.
 

1. What is the difference between DSP and RF/Microwaves?

DSP (Digital Signal Processing) involves the manipulation and analysis of digital signals using mathematical algorithms. It is used for processing and analyzing signals such as audio, video, and images. On the other hand, RF (Radio Frequency) and Microwaves refer to the electromagnetic waves used for wireless communication and transmission. RF and Microwaves are analog signals, while DSP deals with digital signals.

2. Which technology is better for wireless communication, DSP or RF/Microwaves?

Both technologies have their own advantages and are used in different applications. DSP is better suited for processing and analyzing digital signals, while RF/Microwaves are used for wireless communication and transmission. In most cases, both technologies are used together to achieve efficient and reliable wireless communication.

3. Can DSP be used for E&M (Electromagnetism) applications?

Yes, DSP can be used for E&M applications. DSP can be used to analyze and manipulate digital signals that are generated by E&M phenomena, such as electromagnetic waves. It can also be used to process and analyze data from E&M sensors and devices.

4. How do DSP and RF/Microwaves interact with each other?

DSP and RF/Microwaves often work together in wireless communication systems. DSP is used for processing and analyzing digital signals, while RF/Microwaves are used for transmitting and receiving the signals wirelessly. DSP can also be used to improve the quality of RF/Microwave signals by filtering out noise and interference.

5. What are some real-world applications of DSP and RF/Microwaves?

DSP and RF/Microwaves have a wide range of applications in various industries. Some common examples include wireless communication systems, radar systems, satellite communication, medical imaging, and digital audio and video processing. They are also used in consumer electronics such as smartphones, laptops, and smart TVs.
