[sdiy] Request brain dump on balanced lines -- harmonic numbering

[John L Marshall]

It takes only a few harmonics to reveal the shape. By the 5th harmonic the
wave is well on its way to being square. Each additional harmonic
contributes to steeper sides and lower ripple amplitude with more ripple
cycles.


Take care,
John
