Han, I think your life will be easiest if you look at a plane as a good=20
reflector.
Mapping the RLCG into the "other conductor" is a convenience that works=20
reasonably well to reduce computations in things like 2D planar=20
models. Sometimes it is fine, other times it leads to serious errors, as=20
can occur in connector models.
If you are talking about the effect the presence of a plane has on multiple=
=20
signal lines, then "minimal" is perhaps inappropriate. A semi-rigid coax=20
fits that description a lot better than a plane. For a plane, we are=20
concerned with how far away each signal is from each other, and each from=20
the plane. We can readily build constructions where the signal to plane=20
coupling is weak, and the signal to signal coupling is anything but=20
"minimal". Fortunately, such constructions are contrived and not very=20
economical. Doug Smith has examples on his web site, such as parallel=20
signals crossing a split.
