Localization in antidot lattices subjected to a magnetic field is numerically studied. Oscillations of the localization length with periods of Φ 0 /2 and Φ 0 , where Φ 0 is a flux quantum h/e, as a function of flux passing through a unit cell are obtained and an insulator-quantum Hall transition point where the Fermi level crosses extended states is identified. It is revealed that extended states float up in energy and disappear at a critical magnetic field. The results are in good agreement with recent experiments.
