Cecil,

They were undoubtedly confused by their models, and they could not deal
with reality.

I believe you will find that your equality requirement on angles

Exactly! That's why I wonder why Ramo and Whinnery said it's an
approximation.

Wonder why Ramo and Whinnery say that's an approximation for low-loss
lines? If the R+jwL angle is equal to the G+jwC angle, doesn't that
make Z0 purely resistive?
