Well, square waves give rise to lots of harmonics which can be useful.
But what about triangles and sawtooths. Any interesting properies
hidden away in those?
Periodic waveforms are all boring. They just do the same thing, over
and over.
A complex pulse can do interesting things. Spin an airplane. Fuse
deuterium-tritium. Trigger a megaton boom.
I wish the world would move on from the slide rule and graph paper
days, narrowband s-parameters and Smith charts and load pulls. We have
computers now.
