Preferably, the angle between the first signal aperture 324 and the second signal aperture 325 is 90 °. Preferably, the central axes of the second signal holes 325 are located in the same plane, and the central axes of the first signal holes 324 are perpendicular to the planes in which the central axes of all the second signal holes 325 are located. By setting the included angle between the first signal hole 324 and the second signal hole 325 to 90 degrees, the first signal hole 324 and the second signal hole 325 are conveniently processed on the integrated waveguide cavity 30, and the processing difficulty of the integrated waveguide cavity 30 is reduced.
