Abstract

An aerosol-generating device is disclosed. An aerosol-generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a housing including an insertion space into which an aerosol-generating article can be inserted; a radiation unit for heating the aerosol-generating article by radiating electromagnetic waves into the insertion space; and a processor. Under control of the processor, the aerosol-generating device may be configured to block the electromagnetic waves when a frequency of the insertion space escapes from a preset resonance frequency band.
