    The formulas in KaTeX syntax with corresponding descriptions are as follows:

    Zo = \frac{{120}}{{\sqrt{{\text{{er}}}}}}\cdot\operatorname{acosh}\left(\frac{{s}}{{d}}\right)

    – Zo: Characteristic Impedance
    – er: Relative Dielectric Constant
    – s: Separation Value
    – d: Diameter Value

    Tpd = 3.333 \cdot \sqrt{{\text{{er}}}} \cdot \text{{dimension}}

    – Tpd: Propagation Delay
    – er: Relative Dielectric Constant
    – dimension: Dimension Value

    C = Tpd \cdot Zo

    – C: Capacitance
    – Tpd: Propagation Delay
    – Zo: Characteristic Impedance

    L = \frac{{C}}{{1000}}

    – L: Inductance
    – C: Capacitance
