Using Ansoft's 2D Parameter Extractor I calculated the impedance matrix (low
frequency limiting values) as
Z11 = Z22 = 72.08 ohms
Z12 = 23.45 ohms
Since this line is symmetrical, the differential impedance is:
Zdiff = 2(Z11 - Z12)
which in this case gives a value of 97.3 ohms in agreement with the earlier
calculation from Vinu Arumugham.
Best regards,
Eric
