Energy and spectral efficiency are appealing features for military communications and internet of things (IoT). On this thesis, systems and schemes with 1-bit quantization and continuous phase modulation (CPM) are studied and proposed to address the needs for modern and power efficient communications. In this context, oversampling with respect to the symbol duration is promising because the information is conveyed in the phase transitions of the CPM signals, which are not strictly bandlimited. With this, the loss in achievable rate caused by the coarse quantization can be greatly reduced, even for higher order modulation schemes. This study investigates different approaches to enhancing the performance of the proposed system model. A channel coding scheme is designed with a tailored bit mapping, by means of employing a soft-in soft-out (SISO) turbo receiver. CPM waveforms with symbol durations significantly shorter than the inverse of the signal bandwidth are proposed, termed faster-than-Nyquist CPM. Higher oversampling is applied with a sample selection strategy for a nonuniform adaptive oversampling model. Finally, numerical results confirm better performance on bit error rate, spectral efficiency and achievable rate for the proposed methods in comparison with state of the art techniques.
