Perform an S to Z parameter conversion. You'll need to know Zo for your measuring instrument. Then for your specimen Zin = Z11-(Z12*Z21)/(Z22+Zload). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impedance_parameters#Two_port for the conversion math This can also be done in Matlab: http://www.mathworks.com/help/rf/s2z.html especially recommended for ports > 2. See http://www.ece.rutgers.edu/~orfanidi/ewa/ch13.pdf for a general walk through of the math, and of course RFcafe should be in your bookmarks.
