Hi:

A continuation of the idea of using something other than a square wave 
is what Don Lancaster promoted that were called "Magic Sine Waves".  The 
idea is to come up with a waveform that maximizes the desired output 
sine frequency while greatly suppressing the low order harmonics.  The 
result is that a very simple low pass filter will yield a low distortion 
sine wave. This was aimed at DC to AC inverters, but with high speed 
logic could be used to generate an RF sine wave.

Have Fun,
