A antenna made from a photonic band-gap (PBG) material, includes: a lateral wall (4) which is made from a PBG material and which completely surrounds a central axis (6), the wall being disposed at a distance from the central axis such as to form a central resonant cavity; and at least one radiating element (34) which is placed inside the cavity. Each radiating element is positioned inside the cavity in order to excite an electromagnetic field parallel to the central axis and the radiating element(s) can excite the modes of the central cavity having a radial resonance more strongly than the other modes of the cavity.

The invention claimed is: 1. An antenna made of photonic band gap material, comprising: a side wall of PBG material completely surrounding a central axis and spaced apart from said central axis to leave a resonant central cavity suitable for creating at least one narrow frequency passband within a broad frequency stop band of the PBG material; and at least one radiating element placed inside the cavity, suitable for exciting an electromagnetic field for radiating or receiving electromagnetic radiation at a given operating frequency situated within the narrow frequency passband; wherein: the radiating element is positioned inside the cavity so as to excite an electromagnetic field parallel to the central axis; and said at least one radiating element is suitable for exciting the modes of the central cavity that present radial resonance more strongly than the other modes of the central cavity. 2. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein the radiating element is suitable for exciting only those modes of the central cavity that present radial resonance. 3. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the radiating elements forms an individual electric dipole parallel to or coinciding with the central axis. 4. An antenna according to claim 3, wherein at least one of the radiating elements forms an individual magnetic dipole parallel to or coinciding with the central axis, and wherein the radiating elements are adapted to work at the same operating frequency, and wherein the radiating element forming an individual electric dipole is excited in phase quadrature relative to the radiating element forming an individual magnetic dipole so as to create circular polarization. 5. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the radiating elements forms an individual magnetic dipole parallel to or coinciding with the central axis. 6. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein the antenna includes at least one probe placed inside the cavity, the probe having one or more of said radiating elements. 7. An antenna according to claim 6, including at least one conductor plane perpendicular to the central axis, and wherein the probe is supported by the or one of the conductor planes. 8. An antenna according to claim 7, including at least two probes disposed relative to one another in such a manner that one of the probes is the electric image of the other symmetrically about the conductor plane. 9. An antenna according to claim 6, including a central core of conductive material aligned on the central axis, and wherein the probe is supported by said central core. 10. An antenna according to claim 9, including an electrical conductor feeding the probe and passing inside the central core. 11. An antenna according to claim 9, including a plurality of radiating elements uniformly distributed around the periphery of the central core. 12. An antenna according to claim 6, including a support for holding the probe in place in the cavity, said support being made of a material of relative permittivity that is equal to the relative permittivity of the material filling the cavity to within ��3. 13. An antenna according to claim 6, wherein the probe is selected from a set comprising an electric dipole and a wire-and-plate probe. 14. An antenna according to claim 1, including a plurality of radiating elements disposed at different heights along the central axis. 15. An antenna according to claim 1, including a plurality of radiating elements disposed at the same height along the central axis. 16. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein the central cavity presents two open ends through which the central axis passes, and wherein the antenna includes at least one closure cap for closing one of the open ends, the closure cap being made of a dielectric material of relative permittivity lying in the range 1 to 3. 17. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein the side wall of PBG material comprises a structure of metal PBG material. 18. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein the cavity is in the form of a barrel, the axis of symmetry of the barrel coinciding with the central axis. 19. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein the cavity is a circular cylinder of axis of symmetry that coincides with the central axis. 20. An antenna according to claim 1, wherein the central cavity presents two open ends through which the central axis passes, and wherein the central core comprises two flared portions connected together by a narrower portion, each of the flared portions partially closing a respective one of the open ends.
