Clock distribution resonator system

A method for fabricating a clock distribution resonator system, the method comprising:

• providing a clock source configured to generate a clock signal having a predefined wavelength;
• coupling a plurality of transmission line branches to the clock source, each of the transmission line branches having a plurality of resonator characteristics;
• coupling a plurality of clock distribution networks to the respective plurality of transmission line branches, such that the transmission line branches are configured to propagate the clock signal to the clock distribution networks;
• coupling a plurality of circuits to each of the clock distribution networks to provide the clock signal to each of the circuits;
• and
• coupling at least one damping resonator to a respective at least one of the transmission line branches, such that the each of the at least one damping resonator is configured to propagate the clock signal, the at least one damping resonator having at least one resonator characteristic that is different relative to a respective at least one resonator characteristic associated with at least one of the transmission line branches and the clock distribution networks.
