In the movie novels, Palpatine said the one place her could never go was the Jedi Temple. The closest he could get (and not risk detection) was to be at a nearby building a good distance away from the Temple Entrance. His Sith Stealth wouldn't work in such a place full of concentrated light side energy. Palpatine would be detected as a Sith Lord the moment he takes one step onto the Temple grounds. It's why he never visited the Jedi Temple during the Clone Wars.
Okay, long story short, both Jedis and Siths could mask their presence in the Force. The Jedi called this ability "Altus supor" - which at a basic level worked to increase one's focus on the Force, but when advanced, could make its user blend into the Force, making them almost invisible to other Force users - this ability was often employed by Jedi shadows who had to keep a low profile due to their work investigating and destroying darkside cults, as well as recovering darkside artifacts. Both Obi-Wan and Yoda used this ability to escape the empire, with Yoda going even further and living on Dagobah near a cave highly contaminated by the darkside due to the death of a dark Jedi there years before. The Sith had a specific name for their own version of this concealment technique called "Quey'tek meditation." Either way, Sidious was a master at it. The Jedi could feel his presence a little, more or less, but since Sidious was always actively masking it, it was never clear. To some extent, the big guess was that Palpatine was being controlled by a sith and everyone's biggest fear was that he himself was the sith lord, which is why Mace was so worried when he received this info.
