1. An electrical connector that includes one or more printed circuit boards, the one or more printed circuit boards comprising:
a plurality of conductive traces;
a first compensation structure which includes an inductor-capacitor combination providing a first crosstalk compensation signal having a first magnitude to a first of the plurality of conductive traces wherein the inductor-capacitor combination is formed by overlapping trace leads and capacitor plates; and
a second compensation structure providing a second crosstalk compensation signal having a second magnitude to the first of the plurality of conductive traces,
wherein a ratio of the first magnitude to the second magnitude varies with frequency.
