[SI-LIST] Flat Flex Cable Impedance

Hello, 

I am working on a project that involves a flat flex cable interconnect and
would like to know how to calculate the impedance of the cable.  I have 
taken
a look at Howard Johnson's "A Handbook of Black Magic" but am failing to
see any specific reference to calculating impedance for this type of flat 
conductor 
(edge coupled) interconnect, although I would not be the least surprised 
if I 
have missed something.  The book does have a great reference to ribbon 
cables 
and from that I am under the assumption that  I need a GND SIG GND trace 
pattern, 
but would still like to doublecheck what this is going to give me for a 
cable impedance. 
Can anyone that uses flat flex regularly give me any help?

Thanks,
Chris
