1. An electronic device using a millimeter wave comprising:
a communication circuit;
a plurality of wireless communication circuits configured to support a plurality of wireless communication schemes, and
at least one processor operatively connected with the communication circuit, the at least one processor is configured to:
control the communication circuit to output a first millimeter wave signal in a first strength to an outside of the electronic device,
receive a first reflection signal of the first millimeter wave signal reflected by an object positioned around the electronic device, using the communication circuit,
identify whether the object is positioned within a first distance from the electronic device, based on the received first reflection signal,
determine a strength of a second millimeter wave signal as a second strength corresponding to a second distance which is a distance between the electronic device and the object, in response to identifying that the object is positioned within the first distance, the second distance being smaller than the first distance,
control the communication circuit to output the second millimeter wave signal in the determined second strength to the outside of the electronic device,
identify at least one wireless communication scheme related to an application running on the electronic device among the plurality of wireless communication schemes, and
maintain a strength of a wireless communication signal output according to a wireless communication scheme corresponding to a highest priority among the identified at least one wireless communication scheme.
