Here is a 1 dB SMA pad terminated in a short. The cal was done at the end of a SMA connector saver. The 1 dB pad connected to the saver and the pad shorted with their short SMA cal. The Gamma should be 0.87, the marker read out is ~ 0.83-to-0.85 for the most part till 900 MHz where the Gamma drops to ~ 0.8.

Ernst,
I have done something similar. I will see if I can gather up the worse case that I have considered. A calibrated 1 dB SMA pad terminated in a short. Hence, a 2 dB return loss, a reflection coefficient of ~ 0.8

I have commercial mismatches specified up to 4GHz with N-cnnectors (m). After calibration with the supplied SMA calset I mesured the mismatches connected via an SMA (m) to N(f) adapter.
The result was very convincing, see enclosed plot.
