Abstract
Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including an electronic apparatus including an inductor within a circuit package affixed to a printed circuit board (PCB) having a ground layer, where the ground layer includes a mesh area that is substantially void along a contour of the inductor. An electronic apparatus may include a circuit package with an inductor, and a PCB, where the circuit package may be affixed to the PCB. The PCB may have a plurality of layers including a ground layer and a power layer, where the ground layer may be between the power layer and the inductor. The ground layer may include a mesh area that may be substantially void along a contour of the inductor within the circuit package. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.
