As it's a 1W transistor, the input capacitance is likely to be
less than 1-5nF.
Don't get too hung up about three decimal places of accuracy,
reflection coefficients anywhere near 1 are prone to huge errors
in measurement. As Alex says, the input looks like a capacitance
in parallel with a very high resistance (or in series with a very
small resistance if you prefer).
Up to 100MHz the angle of reflection is pretty much linearly
related to frequency which allows you to calculate the equivalent
capacitance - somewhere around 10pF I think.

Quite so.
However, at low frequencies the input impedance of a fet is about 1 to 5 nF
in parallel with a quite high resistance. You might say a pure reactance,
more or less.
On the other hand, terminations affect the stability of a device wuite
strongly and they can cause a state of negative resistance at the input-
particularly some feedback capacitance from source to gate dou tp imperfect
source grounding, bue to package parasitic inductance.

If my memory serves me correctly:
Is it not so that S11 refers to the input port "input impedance" of a two
port network?So, in this case the input impedance is just simply about 1
ohm with small reactance (phase angle -3.6).SWR at the input should be
around 50.
Without S12 or S21 you should not be able to know stability?
