In one aspect, an electronic assembly includes an interconnection substrate, a component, and a discontinuity compensator. The interconnection substrate includes a signal conductor and a ground conductor. The component includes a device having a signal line and a ground conductor, a package, and a signal lead. The signal lead is electrically coupled to an internal signal path of the package and has an external portion extending from the package to the signal conductor of the interconnection substrate. The discontinuity compensator electrically couples a ground path of the package to the ground conductor of the interconnection substrate. The discontinuity compensator includes an electrically conducting planar surface that is oriented in a plane intersecting the interconnection substrate and forms with at least a substantial part of the external portion of the signal lead a transmission line structure having an impedance substantially matching the nominal impedance over the specified bandwidth.
