This study focuses on small scale characterization of sea propagation environments. Conducted measurements were used to extract results on the time dispersive and on the time variant nature of the channel. As concluded, Power Delay Profile presents a singular, ? spiky? shape. The delay parameters for Line-Of-Sight propagation conditions are low, while in the absence of Line-Of-Sight these values increase rapidly. Finally, the envelope distributions for direct and non-direct paths were studied in comparison with the commonly used Ricean and Rayleigh distributions.
