Abstract :
Transit time measurements of the leading edge of pulse modulated microwaves in open space and inside a rectangular waveguide have been performed. The experimental setup used is described. Both measurements show that a part of the energy associated with the leading edge of the pulse propagates with the phase velocity. Calibration techniques and repeated measurements confirm this phenomenon.<>
