This sounds like a coplanar waveguide, potentially with infinite ground =
planes, and maybe also conductor backed. This essentially means a =
transmission line with the signal trace surrounded by the ground traces =
or planes. There are a number of closed-form equations available in =
literature, and depending on your specific situation you should be able =
to apply them. If the spacing from the signal traces to the ground =
varies, the task may be a little more challenging as impedance will =
vary.

Does anyone know how one would calculate the impedance of a trace on a
reference (GND or VCC) plane?
