SUMMARY
This discussion confirms that electric waveforms like square, sawtooth, and triangle waves can be decomposed into their constituent sine waves using band-pass filters (BPF). To effectively isolate specific harmonics, it is crucial to employ high-quality, sharp band-pass filters. The degree of harmonic suppression is relative and depends on the desired outcome for isolating unwanted frequencies.
