ABSTRACT:
A clock signal distribution system is disclosed for providing synchronous clock signals to a plurality of electronic circuit devices. The system includes a clock signal generator means for providing a single frequency sinusoidal clock signal output and a plurality of electronic circuit devices. A clock signal distribution network including interconnected resonant segments of a transmission line 13 connected to the clock signal of the clock signal generator and to the plurality of electronic circuit devices for providing separate synchronous, phase aligned clock signals to the electronic circuit devices. The transmission line segments have lengths matched to the clock signal frequency wavelengths to eliminate clock signal distribution problems such as skew, jitter and pulse distortions.
