TRANSMISSION-LINE-BASED RESONANT QUADRATURE CLOCK DISTRIBUTION WITH HARMONIC FILTERING

An integrated circuit having a transmission-line-based resonant clock distribution network for distributing a clock signal to one or more nodes, the integrated circuit including a transmission-line-based resonant network formed by one or more clock distribution units. Each clock distribution unit includes a transmission line segment having first and second ends and a resonant circuit connected to the transmission line segment at a position equidistant from the first end and the second end, where the resonant circuit includes an inductor connected in parallel with a capacitor such that the resonant circuit, along with the transmission line segment, collectively has a resonant frequency about a frequency of the clock signal.
