Plotting the attenuation constant against frequency

Hello, I'm trying to plot the attenuation coefficient and phase coefficient against a frequency range. The values produced for a single freqency check out correct but my plots don't look similar to the characteristics curves that that I'm expecting from textbooks. Am I messing up the units or dimensions somewhere?
% Clear screen and variables
clc, clear all
% Define distributed parameters
R = 100;
L = 80e-9;
C = 200e-12;
G = 1.6;
% Define frequency range
low_freq = 1; % Enter low frequency here
high_freq = 1e7; % Enter high frequency here
% Calculate frequency axis
freq = low_freq:high_freq;
% Angular frequency
omega = 2*pi.*freq;
% Propagation coefficient
gamma = sqrt((R+(omega.*L*i)).*(G+(omega.*C*i)));
% Attenuation coefficient
alpha = real(gamma);
% Phase coefficient
beta = imag(gamma);
% Plot attenuation coefficient verses frequency
figure('units','pixels','position',[150 200 1000 600])%Set figure properties
plot (freq,alpha)
grid on

xlabel('Frequency (Hz)')% x axis label
ylabel('Attenuation Coefficient')% y axis label
% Plot phase coefficient verses frequency

So far I believe the input values are simply not compatible / coherent with this plot
you cannot have gamme as low as 2e-3 (max y value on this graph) with
R = 100;
L = 80e-9;
C = 200e-12;
G = 1.6;
