Well, it ain't a perfect sinewave..it's a modified one.

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. :-)
