Millimeter waves are electromagnetic waves with frequencies of 30–300 GHz (wavelength 1–10 mm), and millimeter wave stimulation affects microorganism growth. The present study stimulated Bacillus subtilis with 60 and 70 GHz millimeter waves during cheonggukjang fermentation and characterized the effects on cheonggukjang quality. Cheonggukjang treated with millimeter wave irradiation showed no significant difference in total bacterial count but generated only 5.52-5.92% viscous substance. Irradiation with 60 GHz millimeter waves yielded bright and intense color values relative to 70 GHz millimeter waves. Examination of the amylase activity and reducing sugar content of finished cheonggukjang revealed that irradiation at 70 GHz inhibited amylase activity in cheonggukjang. Furthermore, irradiation at 70 GHz increased protease activity, whereas irradiation at 60 GHz inhibited the activity. Moreover, the amino acid content changed with millimeter wave irradiation.

군사적인 용도로 사용 중인 탐지레이더는 사용대역이 점점 광대역화 되고 있으며 최근에는 Millimeter-Wave 영역까지 확장되고 있다. 탐지를 목적으로 하는 군사용 레이더의 Millimeter-Wave 사용대역은 대부분이 35 GHz와 94 GHz 영역이기 때문에 탐지 회피를 위한 전파흡수체의 설계는 필수적인 문제라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 94 GHz 대역의 전파흡수체를 10 dB 이상의 흡수능을 가지도록 개발하기 위하여 연구를 진행하였으며, FDTD를 이용해 시뮬레이션 결과를 토대로 94 GHz 대역의 전파흡수체를 제작한 결과, 조성비 Binder(CPE 외 additional material) : Carbon=70 : 30 wt.%, 두께 0.7 mm에서 14 dB 이상의 흡수능을 나타내었다.
