Fred,
I was wondering, whether the equations that you stated for the odd and even mode
impedance are an approximation? Or are these exact solutions that can be
obtained from the eigenmodes of the system?
Say, you have somehow obtained the characteristic impedance matrix:

Z11 Z12
Z21 Z22

In case of symmetrical geometry Z11=Z22, Z12=Z21. But now one can define
Odd = Z11-Z12
Even = Z11+Z12
In my opinion, one of these approches must be an approximation.

Best Regards
Ege
