I think this "correction factor" you speak of, is for a capacitive "stub"
hanging off a main transmission line.

If you are using an electrically short, unterminated coax, attached to the
middle of a longer transmission line, then this is a consideration.

If you are using terminated coax transmission lines and no unterminated
stubs, then I think it's irrelevant.
