Abstract
One example includes a clock distribution resonator system. The system includes a clock source configured to generate a clock signal having a predefined wavelength. The system also includes a plurality of transmission line branches each coupled to the clock source to propagate the clock signal. The system also 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. The system further includes at least one damping resonator. Each of the at least one damping resonator can be coupled to a respective at least one of the transmission line branches and configured to propagate the clock signal. The at least one damping resonator can have at least one resonator characteristic that is different relative to a respective resonator characteristic(s) associated with the transmission line branches and/or the clock distribution networks.
