The reason that the noise inducing jitter never goes away completely is because: 1) The receiver reference input never couples perfectly to the return reference. 2) The receiver input amplifier has its own internal noise. (One might lump that noise in with the return coupling in the model.) 3) The receive input amplifier has a finite common mode rejection. 4) The receive input amplifier has finite power supply rejection and power bypass is never perfect. The signal rides on top of its return. In a perfect world where we would have amplifiers with infinite common mode rejection and infinite power supply rejection and the return were coupled perfectly to the receiver reference then the only remaining noise source that would be left (for a signal with a single return end to end) would be the noise of the receive input amplifier. Noise across the power rails would not matter. But we don't have those things, so noise across the power rails does matter. Things only get worse when we traverse cavities.
