Characteristic Impedance in Different Cases for Reflection and Transmission Formulas

The characteristic impedance of a uniform transmission line is the ratio of the amplitudes of voltage and current of a single wave propagating along the line during transient condition. And is denoted by Z₀. Characteristic Impedance is usually measured using the Ohm for Electric Resistance. Note that the value of Characteristic Impedance is always negative.
