Abstract
A path-integral solution of the telegrapher's equation has been demons trated to give a plausible description of traversal time, for motions either above or below the top of the barrier, in connection with micro wave-simulation experiments [see Mugnai, Ranfagni, Ruggeri, and Agrest i, Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 259 (1992)]. This Brief Report reports an exte nsion of the analysis in order to compare the traversal, or delay, tim e results relative to a beat envelope signal with those as deduced fro m the distribution function of the randomized time and its analytical continuation in imaginary time.
