Abstract
One embodiment includes a clock distribution system. The system includes at least one resonator spine that propagates a sinusoidal clock signal and at least one resonator rib conductively coupled to the at least one resonator spine and arranged as a standing wave resonator. The system further includes at least one coupling capacitor. Each of the at least one coupling capacitor can interconnect at least one of the at least one resonator rib and a respective circuit to capacitively provide a clock current corresponding to the sinusoidal clock signal to the respective circuit to provide functions for the respective circuit.
