A couple of additional "power" signs appeared when I cut & pasted that 
formula from my web site into my email client. It should be:
R = (100.cos(θ).10 ^(- |S21| / 20) ) - 100

Thanks to Maximo for pointing it out.

It's exactly the same formula as Rick's for his special case of a 
resistive DUT, but with the addition of a cos(θ) term.
