Test Equipment Solutions Datasheet
Test Equipment Solutions Ltd specialise in the second user sale, rental and distribution of quality test & measurement (T&M) equipment. We stock all major equipment types such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, power meters, logic analysers etc from all the major suppliers such as Agilent, Tektronix, Anritsu and Rohde & Schwarz.
We are focused at the professional end of the marketplace, primarily working with customers for whom high performance, quality and service are key, whilst realising the cost savings that second user equipment offers. As such, we fully test & refurbish equipment in our in-house, traceable Lab. Items are supplied with manuals, accessories and typically a full no-quibble 2 year warranty. Our staff have extensive backgrounds in T&M, totalling over 150 years of combined experience, which enables us to deliver industry-leading service and support. We endeavour to be customer focused in every way right down to the detail, such as offering free delivery on sales, covering the cost of warranty returns BOTH ways (plus supplying a loan unit, if available) and supplying a free business tool with every order.
As well as the headline benefit of cost saving, second user offers shorter lead times, higher reliability and multivendor solutions. Rental, of course, is ideal for shorter term needs and offers fast delivery, flexibility, try-before-you-buy, zero capital expenditure, lower risk and off balance sheet accounting. Both second user and rental improve the key business measure of Return On Capital Employed.
We are based near Heathrow Airport in the UK from where we supply test equipment worldwide. Our facility incorporates Sales, Support, Admin, Logistics and our own in-house Lab.
All products supplied by Test Equipment Solutions include:
- No-quibble parts & labour warranty (we provide transport for UK mainland addresses).- Free loan equipment during warranty repair, if available.- Full electrical, mechanical and safety refurbishment in our in-house Lab.- Certificate of Conformance (calibration available on request).- Manuals and accessories required for normal operation.- Free insured delivery to your UK mainland address (sales).- Support from our team of seasoned Test & Measurement engineers.- ISO9001 quality assurance.

Aeroflex 8800 Digital and Analog Radio Test Set
Standing on 50 years of experience and leadership in radio test innovation, Aeroflex introduces a NEW, economical radio test system; the Aeroflex 8800.
With its hybrid portable design, the industry’s largest color
touch-screen display, and unmatched analog and digital test
features, the 8800 offers RF professionals a whole new
experience in radio test.

Complete Digital and Analog Test SuiteThe global land mobile radio (LMR) market is rapidly transitioning from analog to digital, which means test instrumentation must
test both legacy analog systems as well as the new emerging digital standards. The 8800 is designed as an affordable, accurate,
and complete radio test solution for RF professionals engaging in this transition.
The 8800 offers LMR test support for: • FM • AM • P25 • ARIB T98
• DMR • dPMR • NXDN
Analog test features: • Audio Oscilloscope
• Channel Analyzer
• Dual Modulation Source
• Audio Function Generator
• Tone remote/Two-Tone/Tone Sequential

Unprecedented Display Size and User Interface
The 8800 is designed for maximum test efficiency. With the industry’s largest display, quick presets and its unique “fast-stack”
user interface that allows test tiles to be stacked on one another and quickly accessed, test professionals can set up analog and
digital tests in seconds and have ultra-fast access to more displayed meters and test functions.
Hybrid Portable Design
The 8800 is a true hybrid portable design, providing the
portability and ruggedness of a field-level test set, yet offering the
features and accuracy of bench-level test solutions. Weighing
only 17 lbs (7.71 kg), with a 2.5+ hour internal battery, and
30 G shock rating, now test professionals will no longer
compromise portability for critical test features; and vice versa.
Advanced features ranging from Auto-Test to digital modulation
analysis plots to even an internal 500 W (4% accuracy) in-line
power meter are all available within a one-box solution!

Color MetersIn addition to the industry’s largest, easy-to-read display, the
8800 features color-coded meters for quick indication of pass
and fail test results. Using the configuration tile, upper and
lower limits for each meter can be set and saved by the user.
Measurements outside the set limits will display “red” for values
exceeding the limit and “blue” for values below the limit. Now
test professionals can perform fast “Go, No-Go” measurements
simply by monitoring meter color.
Frequency List Land mobile radios are often tested and aligned at multiple
frequencies to ensure maximum performance. This requires
various transmit and receive frequencies to be set on the test
instrumentation, which can be time consuming.
The 8800’s frequency list feature eliminates lengthy and
cumbersome frequency entry. Frequency lists can be created
using a configuration tool that allow users to:
• Create and Edit Frequency Lists
• Set 8800 Generator Frequency
• Set 8800 Receiver Frequency
• Set 8800 Generator Level
• Name Each Channel in the List
Using the Frequency Select control tile, users can quickly
choose their desired frequency list and then select “previous”
and “next” to access frequencies defined in the list; allowing for
simple, very fast transmitter and receiver tests.

Digital Voice TestsThe 8800 provides digital voice quality testing with its unique
Record & Playback feature for P25, DMR, dPMR, NXDN, and
ARIB T98 radio systems. Now users can record live voice from
a radio under test, regardless of vocoder type, and play back the
recording to the radio for audio qualify verification. An “ideal”
audio recording can be saved for each digital modulation type
(P25, DMR, etc.) allowing for fast play back and audio quality
verification of the radio under test.
Quick PresetsThe Presets feature allows for common analog and digital tests
to be set up in only seconds on the 8800! Three user-defined
presets can be created. The presets tile can be easily accessed
using the “fast stack” feature allowing users to quickly switch
between presets.
Internal In-Line Power MeterThe 8800 features an optional internal, 500 W in-line power
meter with 4% accuracy! In-line power meters are especially
useful test tools at remote repeater sites with high-power
transmitters and cable/antenna networks. Now test professionals
can measure true average and peak power, including VSWR.
Since the in-line meter is built-in, you can ensure that this
valuable tool will not be forgotten.

Tracking GeneratorRF professionals must maintain antenna transmission networks and tune duplexers, in addition to radio tests. The 8800’s
optional tracking generator provides a fast tool for sweeping devices and identifying system anomalies.
VSWR, Return Loss, Insertion Loss, and Distance-to-Fault measurements can be performed. Results are displayed graphically
and numerically. These tests require an RF bridge and Power Divider, and these accessories are included in the optional
Enhanced VSWR/DTF kit.
Auto-TestThe 8800 is designed for ultra-fast automated radio tests on analog and digital radios. With highly accurate RF power
(6% typical) and FM deviation (3%) meters, DMM, and new digital architecture, the 8800 is equipped and capable of
ensuring maximum RF and audio performance on your radios. Contact your local Aeroflex representative for more details
on available radio auto-test options.
