Jaya,
        The charateristic impedance defines the (l/c)raised to 1/2  ratio of 
the line per unit length. The input impedance of the line is what you get 
looking into the line when its terminated by a load which could vary from 0 to 
infinity resistive/reactive. When you have a termination of Zo at the load end 
, the i/p impedance is Zo too.......in all other cases the line modifies the 
impedance as per the transmission line eq: that you will find in books. However 
for multiples of lambda/2 of line length  you will find the input impedance the 
same as the terminating impedance.

Regards,
George
