We study in detail a novel type of optical nanoantennas made high-permittivity low-loss dielectric particles. In addition to the electric resonances, particles exhibit very strong magnetic resonances at nanoscale, that can be employed Yagi-Uda geometry for creating highly efficient nanoantennas. By comparing plasmonic and nanoantennas, we demonstrate all-dielectric may better radiation efficiency also allowing more compact design.
