Abstract :
We examine that an inductively loaded dipole becomes electrical invisible showing that the influence on a nearby antenna´s input impedance and on its radiation pattern (scattering) are minimized. We also verify that the direction of the current reverses on the electrically invisible dipole so that the integral of the dipole current becomes zero. By making an inductive load with a distributed constant line, we fabricate an electrically invisible dipole without using chip devices and evaluate its performance. Furthermore, we propose electrically invisible conductor lines formed by connecting these electrically invisible dipoles in series using open stubs as connectors, and analytically examine their invisible state
