Abstract. In experiments the static conductivity on direct current and electromagnetic microwave reflectivity from thin nanogranulated amorphous composite metal-dielectric films were investigated. It was found the exceeding of dynamic conductivity over static on two-four orders. For the explanation of these experimental results the model of intergranular (intercluster) currents is proposed. The microwave reflection coefficient from films in connection with theirs granular character is found. It is proposed the mechanism of individual granular fields compensation which leads to sharp dependence of reflection coefficient from film thickness.
