We show that the propagation of microwave fields along a planar transmission line is strongly modified when a conducting film is brought close to it. The effect is attributed to the shielding of the electrical and/or magnetic microwave fields which is shown to occur over a wide range of parameters (microwave frequency, film square resistance, transverse dimensions of the waveguide). This is illustrated by finite-element electromagnetic simulations and interpreted using a distributed impedance model. We discuss the implications of this phenomenon for broadband measurements of ferromagnetic resonance realized by placing a ferromagnetic metal film above a coplanar waveguide.
