This paper presents the results for the experimental characterization of the mobile underwater acoustic communication channel in shallow water through the statistics of the fading and the time and frequency dispersion parameters. Starting from measurements performed in Forno Bay, Arraial do Cabo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, using three hydrophones in the reception side, two CW signals (3 and 6 kHz) and three sequences of LFM chirps in different bands: 2 to 4 kHz, 5 to 7 kHz and 1 to 8 kHz, the mobile sounding was performed in that channel in order to characterize it as in narrowband as in wideband.
