PHYSICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF EVEN- ANDODD-MODE IMPEDANCES
* Ze and Zd are the wave resistance seen by the even and odd mode travelling signals respectively.
V1 = Z11 I1 + Z12 I2
V2 = Z21 I1 + Z22 I2
* The impedance of each line is no longer describedby a single characteristic impedance; instead, we have

Even-Mode Impedance: ZeImpedance seen by wave propagating through the coupled-line system when excitation is symmetric (1, 1).
Odd-Mode Impedance: ZdImpedance seen by wave propagating through the coupled-line system when excitation is anti-symmetric (1, -1).
Common-Mode Impedance: Zc = 0.5ZeImpedance seen by a pair of line and a common return by a common signal.
Differential Impedance: Zdiff = 2ZdImpedance seen across a pair of lines by differential mode signal.
