Realized that the new methods I implemented for calculating impedance would not work for lossy transmission lines because flux is returned as a real number. I also improved a bit of the sign handling when calculating impedance.
Will add section to flexcompute/tidy3d-notebooks#297 comparing the calculations for a lossy transmission line.
Here is a plot of the different methods for computing impedance:
