You don't seem to know what the term "ohmic" means.

From the IEEE dictionary: "ohmic contact ... one that has a linear
voltage/current characteristic throughout its entire operating range."
That certainly seems to describe the characteristic impedance of a
transmission line which has a linear voltage/current characteristic
throughout its entire specified operating range even though that Z0
is non-dissipative.

I'm assuming anything with the dimensions of "ohms" is "ohmic" but
I could be wrong. Do you have a reference otherwise?
