Popis: Passive transmission lines (PTLs) provide an energy-efficient means of transporting pulsed single flux quantum (SFQ) signals between logic gates and blocks on a chip, or even between chips through a multi-chip module carrier. Although functional up to 70 GHz, our previous designs manifested sharp, length-dependent resonances resulting in diminished operating margins. These are particularly inconvenient since the resonant length is about 1 mm at 40–50 GHz, where most SFQ circuits currently function. To avoid the need to keep the PTLs
