Abstract
Delay-time results relative to a step-like microwave signal propagatin g in a waveguide in the cutoff region are interpreted by means of a pa th-integral solution of the telegrapher equation. This allows one to p erform a simulation of the quantum tunnelling based on the analogy bet ween (relativistic) particle motion and electromagnetic wave propagati on with inclusion of dissipative effects.
