  It is shown that a family of models associated with the kicked Harper model
is relevant for cyclotron resonance experiments in an antidot array. For this
purpose a simplified model for electronic motion in a related model system in
presence of a magnetic field and an AC electric field is developed. In the
limit of strong magnetic field it reduces to a model similar to the kicked
Harper model. This model is studied numerically and is found to be extremely
sensitive to the strength of the electric field. In particular, as the strength
of the electric field is varied a metal -- insulator transition may be found.
The experimental conditions required for this transition are discussed.
