            Abstract : 
A new clocking system is proposed in which the clock is transmitted as almost complete standing wave along a guarded transmission line. The line and the guard are driven with signals of almost the same shape. Simulation shows that the skew is reduced to 1/50 in bipolar and 1/20 in CMOS circuits
