I have found the following Agilent notes to be particularly valuable:

AN 1287-3, Appying Error Correction to Network Analyzer Measurements
AN 1287-9, In-Fixture Measurements Using Vector Network Analyzers
AN 1364-1, De-embedding and Embedding S-Parameter Networks Using a =
Vector Network Analyzer
Product Note 8510-8A, Network Analysis Applying the 8510 TRL Calibration =
for Non-Coaxial Measurements
Product Note 8510-5B, Specifying Calibration Standards for the Agilent =
8510 Network Analyzer

Also applicable:
AN1291-1B, 10 Hints for Making Better Network Analyzer Measurements

And there are more on Agilent's web-site.

Those should answer most of your questions...

IMHO, Eric Bogatin of Gigatest also gives a very good class on the use =
of VNA and probe stations.

Good luck!

Hello,
Excuse me my ignorance! I need some clarity about reference plane for =
on-wafer calibration & measurement using VNA and probe Station. Can you =
please tell me what determines the reference plane, how to define it and =
does it has to do with the dimensions of DUT and calibration artifacts.
I greatly appreciate your response.
Thanks
Felix
