AB  - In this study, A cuboid shape dielectric resonator antenna has been proposed. The feeding
mechanism of the proposed antenna is probe feed by using parasitic feed element with switch to steer the
radiation pattern of the antenna. The operating frequency range of the antenna is 200 MHz (2.5-2.6) GHz that
is suitable for Long Term Evolution (LTE) femtocell base stations. A formula of waveguide mode used to obtain
the optimum dimensions of the dielectric resonator. The surface current distribution has been studied when the
switch being on and off. A good agreement observed between the simulated and measured return loss values.
