Rydberg atoms hold special attraction in electric applications due to their large transition electric dipole moments and huge polarization, which leads to a strong response of atom to electric fields. In radio-frequency (RF) fields, the Rydberg levels are AC Stark shift and splitting, which can realize the study of high-sensitivity electric field sensor of Rydberg atoms. In this work, we use the simpler Shirley’s time-independent Floquet Hamiltonian model to calculate the AC Stark energy spectrum of Cs Rydberg atoms. This model can reduce the basic Hamiltonian into such a Hamiltonian that includes only those Rydberg states that have direct dipole-allowed transitions with the target state, thereby significantly improving the speed of computation. The accuracy of the calculation is proved by fitting with the calculated frequency shift of DC Stark energy levels in the weak fields, and the polarizability of 60D _5/2and 70D _5/2Rydberg atomic states are obtained by fitting with the measured ion spectra of DC Stark Cs ultra-cold Rydberg atoms in magneto-optical trap. In addition, we calculate the AC Stark shift of Cs Rydberg atom $ \left| {60{{\text{D}}_{5/2}},{m_j} = 1/2} \right\rangle $ state in electric fields with different frequencies with ε= 100 mV/m. Rydberg atoms provide a structured spectrum of sensitivity to electric fields due to strong resonant interaction and off-resonant interaction with many dipole-allowed transitions to nearby Rydberg states. This kind of the frequency response structure is of significance to a broadband sensor. And we calculate the sensitivity and the scaling of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), β, varying with detuning from the $ \left| {60{{\text{D}}_{5/2}}} \right\rangle \to \left| {61{{\text{P}}_{3/2}}} \right\rangle $ transition. The value of βallows one to use the result for any Rydberg state sensor to determine the SNR for any Εin a 1 s measurement. Therefrom, Rydberg sensor can preferentially detect many RF frequencies spreading across its carrier spectral range without modification while effectively rejecting large portions where the atom response is significantly weaker, and the signal depends primarily on the detuning of the RF field to the nearest resonance which does not convey the RF frequency directly.
