This might vary by location, but I have heard that it can be more difficult to get a PEng certification with just a M.S. in Elec. Eng. (as opposed to a B.S. in Elec. Eng.) Might not be the case but it is something worth checking into before jumping into a program since the PEng certification is...

your objective shouldn't be all about you, the way it is stated now all you say is "gain experience in the field and further develop as an engineer" It should be changed to what you can provide for the company such as "to apply my skills towards XXXX and develop into an integral member of the...

Have you ever had dolphin? It is nowhere near as delicious as bacon.

When you run on a treadmill (flat or incline) it is much easier because you do not have to push yourself forward, you basically just hop in place. You do have to push yourself a little bit to counter the effect of the track moving underneath you but it is not as difficult. So for a treadmill on...

Well, you know that and the fact that dolphins are a *LOT* smarter than salmon. (and for the record I am a proponent of hunting)

This is actually very true, a few years ago (when he was a city Councillor not the Mayor) a radio station called all of the city Councillors to report a pot-hole in their district. Only three of the Councillors returned the call (one of them being Rob Ford) and Ford was the only one who actually...

Hey all Is there a clever, and elegant way to change a sinc^2 function so that its side lobes will be larger?

Hello All I have a question regarding the SNR of an optical signal The optical signal was measured with a FFT Spectrum analyzer with the amplitude in dBV - the "SNR" was observed to be 60dB (peak value in dBV - noise floor value in dBV = "SNR" in dB) The SNR is typically reported as...

I know I have seen this before a few time done a few different ways/starting points and I am always blown away when I see it worked out. Don't know why but I love seeing this derivation. Does anyone want to post the derivation for all to see, it being done a few different ways would be great.

Hey Descent I go to UVic in BC and am working on a Physics Degree. Choppy is right, the Canadian system is a lot more general to start and gets more specific at the higher level courses. For instance in the first year 100% of the courses are mandatory with the exception of maybe one general...

I have found a source that states this as the free spectral range (FSR = c/(2nL)) which kind of makes sense that it would be the resolution limit

I have no measured resolution limit, I am trying to calculate it to give some credibility to my measurement

Just in case anybody is looking at this... I found one source that says the system resolution will be = (c/nL)/2. Where c is the speed of light n is the refractive index and L is the length of the delay line. I have found sources stating their delay line length and resolution limit: 72km...

Hello All I am using a very basic delay line interferometer to measure the linewidth of a laser source. Basically there is a 1550nm laser that emits light which is split, and one half of the light travels down a 700m delay line before being recombined and the interference is observed. This...
