The invention provides a wireless field intensity breath detecting method and device and a breath detector. Channel state information CSI is extracted from existing 802.11WiFi wireless signals and is utilized for acquiring the weak changes, caused by breath during sleep of people, of the wireless signals, and therefore the aim of tracking and detecting the human body breath condition is achieved. By means of a CSI extracting step, a data correction step and a breath rate detecting step, an existing 802.11a/g/n WiFi network and a mobile terminal are utilized, no professional wearable sensor is needed, the wireless field intensity breath detector is customized, besides, the device can be installed in a mobile terminal of a user as software, and detection can be achieved by upgrading existing wearable equipment. Therefore, the device can be popularized to home environments in a large scale, serves as an applied product for people to carry out long-term human body health monitoring every day and has very high application and business value.
