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 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
