This book concentrates on UWB RF systems. In the analog RF frontend, a high relative bandwidth and not necessarily a high absolute bandwidth poses new challenges to the RF system design. We are therefore concentrating on the lower frequency range of around 1–10 GHz where a large variety of system concepts are under investigation worldwide. A short list of typical applications envisioned by rese...

This dissertation proposes a theory of temporal implicatures, and applies it to the study of tense in Mbya Guarani. It is composed of two parts. In the first one, I discuss the analyses of temporal implicatures developed by Musan (1995, 1997) and Magri (2009).
