] re: Zdiff = 2 * Zodd (of one of two identical lines?)
This equation assumes that only the odd mode is stimulated, which
should be a valid assumption if the differential driver and the
differential trace pair are designed correctly. The true definition
of differential impedance includes both even and odd mode impedance.
