OK, I see what you mean about normalize. This is, of course, inherently automatic in the VNA when calibration is done because it is doing the cal across a frequency range.
I wanted to mention that over the years I've seen a lot of different test cables used with VNAs. In some applications the cable becomes extremely critical and in these cases people buy specialty test cables which can be enormously expensive and overly thick, stiff and heavy. I don't like using such cables. On the other hand, just using cables that you crimp yourself, or perhaps those that you buy at reasonable prices from others suffer sometimes from premature failure of the connector (usually the crimp to the ground braid) and can also introduce phase errors as the cable is flexed. My favorite cable these days for VNA work is the "Minibend" line of cables. Minibend is a compromise of cost vs convenience as they are a bit pricier than common coax jumpers, but they have been a pleasure to use compared to others. These were made by Astrolab, a company that was bought by Huber&Suhner in 2012, so Minibend is now sold by H&S. They make a plain vanilla model called Minibend, and also models with improved phase stability (important for UHF/uWave VNA measurements) including Minibend L and Minibend CTR. I recommend these cables for VNA measurements.

Edit: wanted to add that the Minibend cables that I have been using have lasted a long time, so the initial $60 or $100 or whatever they cost (buy two, one for each port) doesn't seem so painful now.
