Transmission line calculations are much easier than antenna calculations.

To a first approximation: Zo = SQRT(L/C); where L = inductance per unit
length, and C = capacitance per unit length.

Hi Tim and Reg,

Thank you for your valuable information. Is there any website or
textbook that actually shows the step-by-step calculation of this magic
number which has been quoted so often in the cable industry?

You know most video cables and connectors have characteristic
impedance, 75 Ohms.

I am not afraid of math. I just like to understand the details of its
derivation.
