Circuits, Interconnections, and Packaging for VLSI

Addison-Wesley, 1990
For a derivation of transmission line equations from both a
circuits and electromagnetics perspective, try Kraus. He
develops the concept of 'field cells' that enables you to just
look at a transmission line crossection and mentally calculate
the impedance. He develops the concepts of inductance and
capacitance and gives a lot of insight into how transmission
lines operate and why. I'd recommend the classic:
Electromagnetics
