This paper presents experimental requirements to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy using reactor neutrinos. The detector shall be located at a baseline around 58 km from the reactor(s) to measure the energy spectrum of electron antineutrinos ($\bar{\nu}_e$) precisely. By applying Fourier cosine and sine transform to the L/E spectrum, features of the neutrino mass hierarchy can be extracted from the $|\Delta{m}^2_{31}|$ and $|\Delta{m}^2_{32}|$ oscillations. To determine the neutrino mass hierarchy above 90% probability, requirements to the baseline, the energy resolution, the energy scale uncertainty, the detector mass and the event statistics are studied at different values of $\sin^2(2\theta_{13})$
