Abstract
A transmission line for a clock input for a digital device. In the prior art, a clock signal was fed to a digital device on a transmission line. It was found that, when the clock frequency was doubled, the clock pulses received by the device became unacceptable. The invention lengthened the transmission line, rather than shortening it, and thereby removed the unacceptable features of the clock pulses.
