This paper investigates the orbital dynamics and gravitational wave radiation characteristics of neutral test particles around a static spherically symmetric charged black hole (BH) in 4D Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet (4D-EGB) gravity theory. We analyze the dependence of the marginally bound orbit (MBO) and the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) on the Gauss-Bonnet coupling parameter α and charge Q. The results indicate that the orbital radius, angular momentum, and energy all decrease with increasing α or Q, with the corresponding bound orbit region shifting leftward in the (E,L) parameter space. By combining observational data from the BH shadows of M87* and Sgr A* as well as the orbital precession of the S2 star, we constrain the model parameters and find that existing observations can limit the ranges of α and Q to a certain extent. Furthermore, we investigate the characteristics of periodic orbits corresponding to different rational numbers q and the gravitational waveforms they excite, finding that variations in α and Q can lead to distinguishable differences in periodic orbit structures and gravitational wave phases. This study contributes to understanding the effects of Gauss-Bonnet corrections on BH spacetimes, and the results may provide theoretical references for future gravitational wave observations of extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs).
