This is not a hard concept.




Actually it's not a modified sine wave, it's still a square wave with
many fine steps.
Again, it's a marketing term, not a technical one. You don't "modify"
the sine wave, you modify the square wave to approximate a sine wave.

I like that one, but "approximated sine wave" just doesn't have the
same marketing ring to it. :-)
