One signal switching with reference plane change, Red:signal current Blue:Displacement return current Pink:power/ground voltage fluctuation in the form of EM wave
Multiple signals switching with reference plane change, Red: more signal currents
Pink: stronger power/ground voltage fluctuations in the form of EM wave, more signal waveform distortion and skew
Receiver Waveform under the Influence of Simultaneous Switching Noise (SSN)
(As the Number of Simultaneous Switched Drivers Varies, no decoupling caps used, results from Speed2000)

Timing and waveform degradation are THE 2 things in SI study. Pwr/gnd as signal RPD affect both through basic EM phenomena.
