In some embodiments, a printed circuit board, configured to be coupled to electronic components, includes a first material portion and any number of second material portions. Each second material portion is sized and spaced apart from an adjacent second material portion such that electromagnetic waves associated with the operation of the electronic components are substantially not reflected. The first material portion defines a first dielectric constant and the second material portion defines a second dielectric constant that is different than the value of the first dielectric constant.

A printed circuit board (PCB) includes a ball grid array (BGA). The PCB further includes a first BGA pad having a circular shape, and a first via having a circular shape, where the circular shape of the first via overlaps a portion of the circular shape of the first BGA pad and is rotated diagonally relative to a center of the first BGA pad. The PCB also includes a second BGA pad having a circular shape, and a second via having a circular shape, where the circular shape of the second via overlaps a portion of the circular shape of the second BGA pad and is rotated diagonally relative to a center of the second pad, and where a center of the second via is located at a first distance from the center of the first via and at a first angle relative to an axis that crosses a center of the first via.
