Noise coupling between signal and power/ground nets due to signal vias transitioning through power/ground plane pair

Signal vias are often used to move a signal from one PCB layer to another. As a result, these vias can penetrate power/ground plane pair and cause noise coupling (crosstalk) between signal and power/ground nets. This paper studies the noise coupling mechanism using a segmentation approach combined with a via capacitance model and a plane-pair cavity model. Noise coupling from signal to power/ground, and vice versa, is demonstrated in the modeling results.
