contents The large untapped spectrum in sub-THz allows for ultra-high throughput communication to realize many seemingly impossible applications in 6G. Phase noise (PN) is one key hardware impairment, which is accentuated as we increase the frequency and bandwidth. Furthermore, the modest output power of the power amplifier demands limits on peak to average power ratio (PAPR) signal design. In this work, we design a PN-robust, low PAPR single-carrier (SC) waveform by geometrically shaping the constellation and adapting the pulse shaping filter pair under practical PN modeling and adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) constraints for a given excess bandwidth. We optimize the waveforms under conventional and state-of-the-art PN-aware demappers. Moreover, we introduce a neural-network (NN) demapper enhancing transceiver adaptability. We formulate the waveform optimization problem in its augmented Lagrangian form and use a back-propagation-inspired technique to obtain a design that is numerically robust to PN, while adhering to PAPR and ACLR constraints. The results substantiate the efficacy of the method, yielding up to 2.5 dB in the required Eb/N0 under stronger PN along with a PAPR reduction of 0.5 dB. Moreover, PAPR reductions up to 1.2 dB are possible with competitive BLER and SE performance in both low and high PN conditions.
