  • Publication number: 20220291709
    Abstract: One example includes a clock distribution system. The system includes a resonator feed network comprising a plurality of resonant transmission lines that each propagate a clock signal. The system also includes at least one resonator spine. Each of the at least one resonator spine can be conductively coupled to at least one of the resonant transmission lines, such that each of the at least one resonator spine propagates the clock signal. The system further includes at least one resonator rib conductively coupled to at least one of the at least one resonator spine. Each of the at least one resonator rib can be arranged as a standing wave resonator to propagate the clock signal.
