Abstract
One embodiment includes a clock distribution resonator system. The system includes a clock source configured to generate a clock signal having a predefined wavelength, and a main transmission line coupled to the clock source to propagate the clock signal and comprising a first predetermined length defined as a function of the wavelength of the clock signal. The system also includes a plurality of transmission line branches each coupled to the main transmission line to propagate the clock signal. Each of the plurality of transmission line branches includes a second predetermined length different from the first predetermined length. The system further includes a plurality of clock distribution networks coupled to the respective plurality of transmission line branches and being configured to provide the clock signal to each of a plurality of circuits to provide clock synchronization for the associated plurality of circuits.
