Re: phd suggestion

you don't seem to be a very natural researcher then!! come on!!.. go and work for a few years, take on some projects, and eventually you'll be more motivated and have an idea about what to do. how about spending some time reading the latest journals, but dig into the ideas yourself..

Re: phd suggestion

Dear friend,

As one of the guys said, your subject of research in PhD program depends to a great extent to your own interests and pre-research during your MSc period.
But just as a suggestion, I can say the sunbect of ultra high frequency circuits and also RF MEMS are two of the leading topics in the world at the moment.
I hope you success.

Re: phd suggestion

In today's RF and Microwave technology, designing passive and active filters is a good choice for both study and job. As an example. you can work on an active filter design for microwave frequencies. I have a friend in Arizona university who is now working on it.

You can always advance your masters research project to PHD as no resarch project is terminal.

Re: phd suggestion

Hello
I think you have no problem to search IEEE papers and find new research topics, also you must consult with your advisor I think he/she can help you.

Re: phd suggestion

actually i have done my bachelors in computers
my masters is in RF communications
i intend to go ahead in this field but i cant go to circuit designing as u know i dont have much of a background in circuit design theory
thats why i was asking for your suggestion to suggest me something that would suit me and is also according to current needs
my masters is about to complete in two months
dont worry about reading up....i will have about four to five months before i can start my phd...i will read up on the required field as much as required before starting phd
so give me some nice suggestions
