The Wireless and Long Distance Communication Laboratory includes in its structures equipment and facilities regarding a main laboratory of the School Electrical and Computer Engineering. An integral facility of the laboratory is an anechoic chamber of 7mx4mx3m dimensions and operating frequency range between 80MHz and 18GHz. The Anechoic chamber is surrounded by a Control Room, along with an Amplifier Room. The Control room includes instruments for the measurement of the signals that are driven out of the chamber. On the other hand, in the Amplifier room takes place the amplification of the signals that are driven inside the chamber.

Following, there is a list of the major equipment of the WLDCL:
