The invention discloses a 
microwave electric field intensity meter based on a cold 
Rydberg atom interferometer and a measuring method thereof. The 
microwave electric field intensity meter comprises: a vacuum 
system, which is used for cooling and 
trapping atom to generate a cold atom cloud for preparing a 
Rydberg state and generating an interference effect so as to generate a 
phase difference by coherent atomic states; a 
laser, which is used for generating 
coupling light and detection light and exciting the cold atom in the vacuum 
system from a 
ground state to the 
Rydberg state coherently; a photoelectric 
detector, which is used for detecting an interference fringe generated by two beams of cold atom clouds due to coherence; and a 
microwave source, which is used for generating a microwave 
electric field. According to the invention, when the microwave electric 
field intensity meter is applied to the evolution process of coherent 
beam splitting and combination, the atom cloud in the 
Rydberg state interacts with a to-be-measured microwave electric field, thereby generating an alternating-current 
stark effect; and the to-be-measured microwave electric 
field intensity is associated with a phase generated by the an alternating-current stark, thereby realizing precise measurement of the microwave electric field.
