We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that a local excitation of a
single scatterer of relative dielectric permittivity {\epsilon} = 6 permits to
excite broad dipolar and quadrupolar electric and magnetic resonances that
shape the emission pattern in an un- precedented way. By suitably positioning
the feed with respect to the sphere at a ?=3 distance, this compact antenna is
able to spectrally sort the electromagnetic emission ei- ther in the forward or
in the backward direction, together with a high gain in directivity. Materials
with {\epsilon} = 6 can be found in the whole spectrum of frequencies promising
Mie antennas to become an enabling technology in numbers of applications,
ranging from quantum single photon sources to telecommunications
