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,
Brooke Clarke
