How to Evaluate Characteristic Impedance (Line SC)?

Characteristic Impedance (Line SC) evaluator uses Characteristic Impedance = Incident Voltage/Incident Current to evaluate the Characteristic Impedance, The Characteristic Impedance (Line SC) formula is defined as the apparent opposition in an electrical circuit to the flow of an alternating current that is analogous to the actual electrical resistance to a direct current and that is the ratio of effective electromotive force to the effective current. Characteristic Impedance is denoted by Z0 symbol.
