Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a microwave filter, and more particularly to a microwave filter with high mixed wave suppression. [Prior Art] With the advent of the high frequency era, the application of microwave filters in communication has gradually increased. Whether in mobile phones, base stations, satellite systems, etc., a large number of microwave filters are required. However, in the conventional planar structure microwave filter, the second frequency is usually present at a high frequency such as a second frequency (2fQ), a triple frequency (3fG), and a quadruple frequency (4f〇) of the fundamental frequency (fG). The passband of the third and fourth bandpass frequencies, as well as the high frequency mixing effect. A conventional solution is a low pass pass chopper, a step impedance filter or an additional transmission zero to suppress the high frequency aliasing effect. In addition, the bandgap effect generated by the periodic structure (or photon energy gap or electromagnetic energy gap) has been proposed for microwave components, and the conventional periodic structures are mostly fabricated on the ground plane, so it is disadvantageous to high frequency. The disadvantages of packaging. However, if the periodic structure and the microwave element are placed on the same plane, the original microwave element may be adversely affected (e.g., center frequency offset, etc.). Therefore, it is necessary to provide an innovative and progressive high-mixing wave suppression microwave filter to solve the above problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a high frequency hybrid wave suppression microwave chopper comprising: a first metal layer and at least a second metal layer. The first metal layer is used for filtering, and the first metal layer has a first substrate and a plurality of
