Steve-

Putting the parameters you specified into Apsim RLGC field solver
shows the calculated impedance to be 50.06 ohms. Sounds like you 
are spot on with your calculations.

Here is the output from the analysis:


CMATRIX (F/mm) = 
1.763e-13 

CMATRIXAIR (F/mm) = 
2.517e-14 

LMATRIX (H/mm) = 
4.421e-10 

GMATRIX calculated at a frequency of 1.000e+08

GMATRIX (S/mm) = 
1.880e-06 

RMATRIX calculated at a frequency of 1.000e+08

RMATRIX (ohm/mm) = 
1.003e-03
