This paper represents a low leakage, highly efficient and delay improved 4×1 MUX with MOS based voltage doubler circuit cum augmented sleep transistors MOS configuration with nanoscale structure. The unique newly designed voltage doubler circuit is implemented as an additional circuit at the output of the implemented proposed design to step-up the voltage. It means that the output peak voltage is doubled due to the transient of both positive and negative cycles. This stepped-up voltage may be exploited as a stabilized supply for specific applications. The voltage doubler circuit is not enough to improve the overall performance of proposed 4×1 MUX design. In order to integrate the optimization criterion of leakage power and delay performance, the voltage doubler circuit is utilized along with the MOS configuration of augmented sleep transistors. To minimize the parameter of leakage power dissipation theMOSbased voltage doubler circuit cum augmented sleep transistorsMOSconfiguration is introduced. This will mitigate the redundant unused leakage power dissipation of the circuit. This additional circuitry brings out the aspired level of output voltage for the proposed and implemented 4×1 MUXwith better performance parameters. The whole simulation has been done for the 45nmtechnology. It is finally summarized that the leakage power dissipation is minimized up to 55% just around and the delay performance is also improved up to a desired level due to the utilization of MOS based voltage doubler circuit with the MOS configuration of augmented sleep transistors. In this paper, different combinations of MOS based augmented voltage doubler circuit implemented at the output of 4×1 MUX are represented.

In this paper a high performance rectangular microstrip patch antenna (RMPA) has been designed using doubleHshaped metamaterial. First, the doubleHshaped metamaterial has been designed and optimized at 5.2 GHz resonant frequency of patch antenna. It has been found that embedding of this metamaterial into the substrate beneath the reference patch antenna improves its return loss and bandwidth without changing the resonant frequency and gain. To further enhance the gain and efficiency of the metamaterial embedded RMPA a superstrate of double H shaped metamaterial has been applied at the distance of -/3 over it. Finally, a high gain, broadband and good impedance matched metamaterial inspired RMPA has been obtained. The proposed antenna was simulated and optimized using HFSS software. The prototype antenna has been fabricated and measured results of the proposed antenna are found to be in good agreement with the simulated results.

The paper presents a method developed for building a complete class of bent sequences of length N = 9 in the Vilenkin–Chrestenson basis based on employing three reference constructions. The first construction allows the bent sequences of arbitrary length N=3^2k, k ∈ ℕ to be built. The resultant bent sequences can be used both in cryptographic applications and as constant amplitude codes in the MC-CDMA technology. A design of the gamma xoring block of graphic and video information based on bent sequences in the Vilenkin–Chrestenson basis was also proposed.
