Abstract

In accordance with a non-limiting example, a connector mates to a circuit board at a connector interface. The connector often introduces an undesirable level of crosstalk between pairs. Traces are formed on the circuit board in a “compensation region” that also introduces crosstalk between pairs. The “compensation region” is created in a geometrically controlled fashion such that the crosstalk in the compensation region is of equal magnitude, but opposing phase to the crosstalk introduced by the connector. Thus, the overall crosstalk is minimized.
