Interesting. I've only seen step ladders.

It looks any way you want it to look.
You need to make some kind of oscillator to convert DC to AC. Depending on what kind of oscillator you choose, the wave forms can be very different.

Any which way you like, Jack. I can make an arbitrary waveform generator for you that delivers a MW of power for virtually any waveform you pick. Just let me know when you want to deposit the first million dollars so I can start working on such a nonsensical and expensive device.

It can be convereted back into a pure sinewave. Usually the first step is to simply chop it into a squarewave. Then through further conditioning, smoothe it into a sinewave.

it can look like anything the designer wanted it to look like
a very imprecise question
square wave
triangular wave
Sine wave
Stair case (piece-wise approx to a sine-wave)

DC is straight AC is wavy
