That's the problem...

that's a big problem... the range is something like $50 (new) - $5000 (used). from diy/cheap/immitation crap that has no paperwork that some people swore by it to be used along with deep mathematical formulation to what you will expect... maybe you can start here.. https://www.keysight.com/en/pc-1000002625%3Aepsg%3Apgr/mechanical-and-electronic-calibration-kits?pm=SC&nid=-32574.0&cc=US&lc=eng

yes if you want the diy/cheap/immitation crap i was talking about that you will be "happy" with any measurement outcomes you will get.

Your best way to get yourself going would probably be a kit from SDR-kits.net. They use Rosenberg parts and Rosenberg makes connectors and cal kits for big boys. They also provide information How they measured the parameters so you can make your judgement. Ironically, to Mech's comment, the designer of a VNA they sell is a professor of mathematics at a major German university.
