This article presents an analytical model for drain current in the super threshold region.

The ferromagnetic material Ni<inf>3</inf>GeFe<inf>2</inf> and Fe<inf>3</inf>GeTe<inf>2</inf> have shown improvement in various electronic and magnetic properties that can be useful for further implementation in MTJ device. The Ni<inf>3</inf>GeFe<inf>2</inf> and Fe<inf>3</inf>GeTe<inf>2</inf> predicted good magneto-transport property that characterizes their ferromagnetic state. In oxide layer the direct bandgap of 1.0437eV at Gamma point is obtained. The validation of Ni<inf>3</inf>GeFe<inf>2</inf> and Fe<inf>3</inf>GeTe<inf>2</inf> as ferromagnetic layer is predicted as it showed 0eV bandgap. Local Density of State (LDOS) of FM and oxide layer is calculated along with it the electron transport is observed in z direction. It is found that these two ferromagnetic (FM) materials showed a high Curie temperature. The DOS and Band Structure of Fe is compared with Ni<inf>3</inf>GeFe<inf>2</inf>, Fe<inf>3</inf>GeTe<inf>2</inf>.

A trade-off is made with the error characteristic by using approximation at the lower stage of partial product. Results for area, power and error factor are shown for range of multipliers. A significant improvement is achieved by using the proposed technique. The logics are implemented using 45nm process technology and Cadence GENUS™ Synthesis Solution.

The model takes into account the variation of signal attenuation due to varying number of human bodies and other obstacles present in the indoor environment at different times of a day, leading to time-dependent difference in signal to noise ratio (SNR).
