Zusammenfassung:Recently, the number of obesity treatments has been gradually increased since more and more people has suffered from the obesity due to many reasons in modern society such as lack of exercise, overeating and so on. There have been developed many treatment methods using EM techniques at extreme frequency ranges (ELF or optical frequency). One of the disadvantages of these techniques is that it takes long time to be treated because of its inefficient use of EM energy in the treatment. Thus, we propose a way using a MW frequency region in order to reduce treatment time by an efficient use of EM energy.
