Is there a formula for the self-capacitance and self-inductance for a
via surrounded by a ground plane with the following geometry?

->|D |<-
|<---- P ----->|
______________
^ |_____ _____| ^
t | | |
v | | |
__________________ | | _______|
______GND_________| | | |______GND
| | L

|<---------|R |--------->| |

______| |_____ |
|_______________| v

There is a formula for a slightly similar configuration given by Howard
Johnson & Martin Graham in their book "High Speed Digital Design" but
the capcitance calculation is not accurate enough.

Thanx in advance.
