Abstract:
Disclosed is a printed circuit board (PCB) including a set of stacked metallization layers separated by a set of stacked electrical-insulating layers, respectively, wherein the set of stacked metallization layers includes top metallization layer, bottom metallization layer, and intermediate metallization layer; a via electrically coupled to the top metallization layer, the intermediate metallization layer, and the bottom metallization layer, wherein the top metallization layer, a portion of the via between the top metallization layer and the intermediate metallization layer, and the intermediate metallization layer are configured to route a data signal between a signal-in and a signal-out; and an electromagnetic absorbing material configured to reduce an intensity of a reflected signal resulting from the data signal propagating downward along a stub of the via and reflecting off the bottom metallization layer. The electromagnetic absorbing material may be attached to a bottom of the PCB and/or coaxially attached to the stub.

Claim (Index 24):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a first device configured to generate a data signal; a second device configured to receive the data signal; and a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising:\n a set of stacked metallization layers separated by a set of stacked electrical-insulating layers, respectively, wherein the set of stacked metallization layers includes upper metallization layer, lower metallization layer, and intermediate metallization layer; \n a via electrically coupled to the upper metallization layer, the intermediate metallization layer, and the lower metallization layer, wherein the upper metallization layer, a portion of the via between the upper metallization layer and the intermediate metallization layer, and the intermediate metallization layer are configured to route the data signal from the first device to the second device; and \n an electromagnetic absorbing material configured to reduce an intensity of a reflected signal resulting from the data signal propagating downward along a stub of the via and reflecting off the lower metallization layer.
