Abstract: Aiming at the problem that the traditional radio transmitter location method mainly depended on the parameters received by the base station, the cost of building the base station was large, we proposed  radio transmitter location method based on adaptive Hata model. This method improved the traditional Hata model, and used particle swarm optimization algorithm to determine the location of radio transmitter effectively. The experimental results show that this method is feasible and effective.

Key words: radio transmitter, adaptive Hata model, particle swarm , optimization algorithm, location method
