Rick,

I don't know what kind of driveway you have.  Since you are talking 
about digging a trench, most "likely" it is a gravel over some base.

I'd go with option 1:  (I *only* provided a list of possibilities - sort 
of take your pick or roll your own from the following.)

Since the coax is rated for burial, there is no need to provide for
drainage or to seal it.

Put a 45 degree elbow on each end, turned, depending on the grade, 
(slope).  DEFINITELY leave some sort of line inside so you can pull 
either another cable, OR clean out crud.

Stuff a mechanics rag in each end to keep rodents out!  Soak it in 
"Bitter Apple" or some such.

Have fun!
