The two ends of the second resistor 12 are respectively connected to the two second connection positions, and the two ends of the third resistor 13 are respectively connected to the third connection positions, so as to enhance the isolation degree between two adjacent input microstrips, thereby avoiding signal interference and crosstalk between the two input microstrips. Further preferably, 0.4 mm copper foils are extended at the two second connection positions to form extended parts, and the two ends of the second resistor 12 are connected to the two extended parts. The connection mode between the third connection position and the third resistor 13 is the same as the above setting mode. Additionally, the resistance value of the second resistor 12 is 91 Ω, and the resistance value of the third resistor 13 is 240 Ω.

[0046] Further, the fourth microstrip segment 8 and the fifth microstrip segment 9 are in a "ji" shape, and the corner of the fourth microstrip segment 8 and the fifth microstrip segment 9 is a 55° chamfered right angle to enhance the microstrip structure strength. Further preferably, the width of the fourth microstrip segment 8 is 0.1987 mm, the width of the fifth microstrip segment 9 is 0.378 mm, and the sixth microstrip segment 10 is electrically connected to the input terminal 2 and the fifth microstrip segment 9 respectively, and its width has no specific requirement.

That is, two input ends 2 are provided on one side wall surface, and the two input ends 2 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction.

[0050] Further, the output microstrip 3 is arranged vertically, and the two transmission microstrips respectively extend from the first combining position along the two horizontal sides and are respectively connected to the two input microstrips at the second combining position. The fourth microstrip segment 8 and the fifth microstrip segment 9 in the input microstrip are arranged in a "J" shape and are electrically connected to the input end 2 through the sixth microstrip segment 10. Further preferably, a first resistor 11 and a second resistor 12 are provided between two adjacent input microstrips.
