... Suffice to say
that a square wave cannot be used with a passive diode doubler; all
the energy is contained in the short transition times and that is rarely
enough to be worth it.
?? Lots of energy in the fundamental; filter to extract the
fundamental and feed it to your full-wave rectifier doubler.
Efficiency can be high if the filter does not cause dissipation in the
source at the harmonics.
