Abstract
A clock distribution system that includes a length of two-conductor transmission line driven differentially at one end and terminated at the other end, a plurality of regeneration devices, and a plurality of regeneration device pairs. The two-conductor transmission line is arranged in a serpentine configuration with a number of locations at which portions of the transmission line come physically close to each other. The regeneration devices are located at various spaced-apart positions on the transmission line and operate to provide energy to a wave traveling on the transmission line. Each of the regeneration device pairs is connected between the transmission line portions that are physically close to each other so as to cause a traveling wave on adjacent portions of the line to have opposite phases.
