Summary Modern portable communication devices require a compact antenna with superior performance and lower weight and size. The design and development of such a compact size antenna are a significant challenge for researchers. This proposed work compact slot‐based triangular patch antenna to work at the multiple resonance frequencies from 5 to 10 GHz using FR4 substrate is presented. The proposed antenna is simulated using High‐Frequency Structural Simulator (HFSS 2020R1). Simulated and fabricated antenna test results show that the proposed antenna can be suitably employed for the portable wireless transceivers in C and X bands. It has been inferred from the fabricated and measured results that the proposed slot‐based triangular patch antenna achieves the peak gain of 8 dBi and has excellent impedance matching properties such that return loss S11 is less than −10 dB and VSWR value is significantly closer to 1 at all the resonance frequencies.

A novel approach called Keeper in LEakage Control Transistor (KLECTOR) is presented in this paper to reduce leakage currents in SRAM architecture. The SRAM is significantly affected by the leakage current during the "standby mode", which is caused by the fabric which has a lower threshold voltage. KLECTOR circuit employs less power consumption by restricting the flow of current through devices of less voltage drops and relies heavily on the self-controlled transistor at the output node. It has been found from the presented results that static (leakage) power in the write operation is reduced to 63% and 69 % for the read operation. This proposed approach is designed and simulated using the Virtuoso, Cadence EDA tool.
