Method of reducing power dissipation in a clock distribution network for integrated circuit

A differential clock distribution network comprising:

• a first transmission line;
• a second transmission line;
• a first differential half comprising a first multi-port electrical network coupled between first and second segments of the first transmission line, the first multi-port electrical network and the first transmission line cooperating to create a first resonant structure, the first multi-port electrical network being configured to produce first and second resonances that cooperate to create a bandpass response across a plurality of clock distribution frequencies associated with a bandwidth of the first resonant structure;
• and
• a second differential half comprising a second multi-port electrical network coupled between first and second segments of the second transmission line, the second multi-port electrical network comprising a passive electrical network, the second multi-port electrical network and the second transmission line cooperating to create a second resonant structure.
