1. A printed circuit board (PCB), comprising:
a plurality of layers; and
an array of vias comprising a plurality of rows configured to connect signals across layers, the vias of adjacent rows being arranged in a staggered fashion;
wherein an inner layer comprises first and second signal traces positioned between first and second adjacent rows of the vias, the first signal trace positioned adjacent to the first row and the second signal trace positioned adjacent to the second row;
the first signal trace comprising at least one curved segment that curves around a substantial portion of a corresponding via in the first row such that separation between the first and second signal traces varies along the curved segment; and
the separation between the first and second signal traces increasing toward a first location between adjacent vias in the first row and decreasing toward a second location between adjacent vias in the second row.
