Choosing subject for grad school

AI Thread Summary
Choosing between Broadband Networks and Embedded Operating Systems hinges on personal interest and career goals. Broadband Networks focuses on theoretical aspects of wireless and optical communications, aligning well with a background in communication and signal processing. In contrast, Embedded Operating Systems involves practical programming and Linux system design, which may appeal to those interested in hands-on projects. Ultimately, selecting the subject that resonates more personally is crucial for long-term satisfaction and success. The decision should reflect both passion and the desire to enhance professional opportunities.

hi all,

i am a graduate student, i need to choose 1 subject from

A>>
Broadband networks:: which is somewhat theoretical and deals with Physics of wireless and optical communications. Broadband multiplexing and switching methods. Blocking and queuing analysis. Network optimization, routing, and economics

B>>
Embedded operating systems which has beagleboard programming projects involved as well, and deals with Investigating Linux source including: memory management, kernel synchronization and driver design topics. Designing, coding, testing, and evaluating embedded operating system software in a Linux environment..

I am an elctrical engineering specializing in communication and signal processing; i have taken the following courses till now:: random signal theory, communication systems, digital communiations, wireless communications.

digital systems and circuits, VLSI design, computer architecture, digital image and video processing.

please give your opinion such that it further improves my profile and knowledge and increases my chances of getting a job.

thank you

The question is not our opinions, the question is what is your opinion!

Which one interest you more? Don't study because it is a better field, more jobs. Study the one you like more. Ask yourself what make you tick!
 
actually both of them interest me...but i can choose only 1...!...

:(
 
I'll take the first one because I like physics, more theory. Goes in line with what you already took. More on the broad band communication.

thank you:)
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
