The units.=20 d =3D outer radius inner conductor meters D =3D inner radius outer conductor meters When calculated seems to be reasonable.

Wavelength =3D3D PI(d+D) Frequency =3D3D velocity/wavelenght=3D3D c/(PI(d+D)sqrt(ur*er) The ur would be the relative permiability????

I have been able to find many for coaxial cable. However, I do not know the assumptions that are being made to derive these equations. Cutoff Frequency =3D3D 7.5/SQRT(er)(D+d) or Cutoff Frequency=3D3D ((2*c)/(PI*sqrt(er)))*1/(D+d) D =3D3D Sheild inner diameter d =3D3D Conductor outer diameter Any insight?
