What is a zero impedance antenna?
This is a serious question. An antenna designer at our company claims to have designed an antenna in which current will flow, but no signal will be radiated. He says it is a zero impedance antenna.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? PLEASE EXPLAIN! PLEASE HELP!!!

"current will flow, but nothing is radiated"
that's called a resistor. they were first invented in the 1800s. he's a bit late |

If it's zero impedance, isn't that, instead, called a "conductor"?
How does current flow into the antenna if its characteristic impedance is zero at the feeder terminals?
(Thanks, again.)
