Hello,

This article "controlled impedance vias" was looked very
interesting, however I have failed at the early stage of
this article.  I just simply did not understand "arc-cosh
(D/2a)" where D is diameter of via, 2 is via pitch between
sig via and GND via.  If I apply typical design rule to
this formula, D/2a would be value less than 1.  To make
this number more than 1, the design would be unlikely, I
think.

How do I understand this formula?  Or imaginary number
would be accepted in the arccosh?

Can somebody explain?

Paul, perhaps this article is of interest to you:
http://www.edn.com/index.asp?layout=article&articleid=CA324403
"designing controlled impedance vias", by tommy neu, TI. 
not a replacement for a tried and true simulation study
with a 3d field solver,  but you'll be more familiar with
what you're after and a general direction on how to get
there.
