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 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
