An electromagnetic (EM) invisible cloak is designed and analyzed with serially interconnected split ring resonators (SRRs). The cloak consists of an array of a network of split ring resonators which operates at a 3 GHz resonating frequency. The split ring resonators are connected with transmission line and are wrapped around the cylindrical object. Cloak coupled with EM waves gets transferred around the cylindrical object and received to the other side of transmission. Scattering cross section (SCS) is analyzed for both cases, which results in the effect of resonance. The total scattering cross section of the cloaked object is reduced by using SRRs. The simulated and measured results are in great agreement with each other. The transmission-line-connected SRR cloak is useful for S-band applications specifically at 3 GHz resonance.
