the moniker "Modified Sine Wave" is a misleading term, and should be

I would prefer "stepped sine wave". But I can accept the term "modified
sine wave" as marketing speak that has been on lots of UPS boxes for 20
years. (UPS itself being inaccurate for a standby power source.)


A chirped-frequency, nanosecond-wide, random-amplitude pulse train is
a modified sine wave.
