Bruce Raymond Davis (born 1939) is an electronic engineer, notable for his research in mobile communication systems, satellite communications, and high frequency data communication systems.

Education

He was first employed by University of Adelaide in 1964. During 1970, he was with Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, New Jersey, studying various aspects of mobile radio communications and again in 1977, when he was involved in satellite systems research. In 1988, he developed SUGAR—a circuit analysis simulation tool named in allusion to University of California Berkeley's software called SPICE. In 1992, he was a Visiting Scholar with the Communications Division of the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO), Salisbury, South Australia, and was involved with high frequency data communication systems.

He was a co-recipient of the 1986 IEE Overseas Premium Best Paper Award and winner of the 1989 IREE (Aust.) Norman W.V. Hayes Medal.
