While less publicly known than contemporaries such as Alec Reeves or Donald Davies, Ronald Hugh Barker played a key role in the early development of British digital communications. Working at the Signals Research and Development Establishment (SRDE), he was responsible for the invention of the Barker code in 1953, which remains in use for synchronisation in radar, telemetry systems and digital communications.[1] His work also included early applications of pulse-code modulation and digital radar data transmission, which anticipated features of modern air traffic control systems.[2]
