The magnitude of the EIT peak splitting is proportional to the MW-radiation electric field. Simple approximation equations are derived for evaluating numerically the amplitude of transition between Rydberg nD5/2 and (n+1)P3/2 states with high principal quantum numbers n. An experimental setup is constructed for measuring the MW electric field on the basis of the EIT resonance-splitting measurements in absorption spectra of a probe radiation.
