This study presents work carried out on a multiband‐dielectric resonator antenna (M‐DRA) for long‐term evolution (LTE) application. A new stack M‐DRA is introduced by using two dielectric resonators of different permittivities, stacked on top of each other. The M‐DRA is excited using a coaxial probe. The introduction of a finite planar conducting wall reduces the overall size of the proposed M‐DRA. It operates at LTE band‐VI (828–880 MHz), GSM 1800/1900 and UMTS 2100 for S 11 <−10 dB. The measurements performed with a fabricated antenna showed good agreement with the simulated results.
