Microwave double resonances were measured in a wall-coated Rb vapor cell as a function of additional buffer-gas pressure. These data were compared with similar measurements in an uncoated cell. It was found that the linewidth in the coated spherical cell of diameter 1.6 cm displays a distinct maximum around 0.2 kPa. This agrees well with theoretical solutions of the diffusion equation, assuming a complex reflection coefficient at the wall. It was also found that at intermediate pressures the lineshapes of the microwave resonances become asymmetric with a low-frequency tail. This agrees with the explanation that where the alkali mean free path is substantially smaller than the average distance between wall collisions at zero pressure, there exist two classes of atoms in the cell. The atoms that get trapped near the walls accumulate much larger phase shifts than those toward the center of the cell. This effect is not seen in the longitudinal relaxation rate, indicating that it is related to a phase-shift effect.
