Aeroflex
Aeroflex was previously known as IFR, which was previously known as Marconi.
IFR
IFR began life as Instrument Flight Research Corporation in 1968, specializing originally in aircraft instruments and test equipment. In 1971 the company refocused and concentrated on avionics test equipment. By 1975 the name was changed to IFR, Inc. and a radio communications test set was developed which transformed IFR into a leading RF and avionics test equipment company.
IFR's radio communications testing expanded into cellular radio, paging and trunked radio. A major US defense contract extended capability into testing frequency agile military radio test systems. Avionics test also gained a wider market share and a line of RF and microwave Spectrum Analyzers was introduced.
In February 1998 IFR Systems, Inc. acquired Marconi Instruments to create a new dynamic test and measurement company. IFR was attracted to Marconi Instruments because of the wide range of products, a global sales presence in over 100 countries and an extensive service and support network.
