Full-wave unfiltered rectification, followed by bandpass filter?

Doesn't full wave produce a symmetrical waveform that minimizes even harmonics?


It's not exactly symmetrical. Rectifying a sine wave produces what looks
like a sine wave with pointy lower peaks, at twice the input frequency.
A little decent filtering at 2F, and the pointy lower peaks go away.
