Default Frequency doubling: Is bandpass filtering needed?

BTW, in the olden days we preferred 3x, 5x per stage. Two 3x stages
would give you 9x. The most brazen ones (not me) did a direct 7x or even
9x. We just drove transistors in class C real hard.


Or today, many of us just overdrive an untuned MMIC amplifier and filter
out the unwanted harmonics...
