An interesting number of significant figures, if it's to cover both
RG-58 and RG-11 types. I'd expect the RG-11 to converge a bit better
to 72-75 ohms, actually. I have a note I made some time ago in a
reference book that says, "Neglecting dielectric loss, if Zo = Ro+jXo,
Xo is approximately -0.180*Ro*A100*VF/f" where A100 is the attenuation
in dB/100 feet and f is the frequency in MHz. There. Now, at least
for RF, people should be able to generate their own tables.
Cheers,
Tom

For anyone who may be interested.
Typical of RG-58 and RG-11 type cables.
Zo = Ro - jXo
Xo is always negative.
Angle of Zo in degrees. Always negative.
VF = relative velocity.
Freq Ro jXo Angle VF
------ ------ ------ ------ ------
50 Hz 967 -965 -44.95 0.034
1 kHz 220 -213 -44 0.151
10 kHz 80 -58 -36 0.41
100 kHz 56 -9.3 -9.5 0.59
1 MHz 52.4 -2.4 -2.7 0.63
10 MHz 50.7 -0.76 -0.86 0.65
100 MHz 50.2 -0.23 -0.27 0.66
Smith Chart calculations begin to be inaccurate around 2 MHz and below. So
do SWR meters.
