Abstract
A system in which line reflections in a clock distribution network are cancelled by providing the clock distribution network with a branching point and suitably arranging recipient devices with respect to the branching point to provide for clock pulse reflection cancellation and attenuation. Moreover, the system can be arranged so that clock pulse reflections are not received as pulses which are discrete from legitimate clock pulses. The system also provides capability for reducing electromagnetic interference.
