VERY TRUE..........

 

One solution for narrow band would them be to filter the output to remove the fundamental (and any other odd order) componets that cause the asymetry

Andy,

such a doubler will work but the flip-flop is not a guarantee for a
perfect 50/50 square wave in this case. The flip-flop will be clocked by
both edges of *one* of the XOR input signals, which one depends on the
clock polarity (rising or falling edge) at the flip-flop input so the
flip-flop output will have the same duty cycle as one of the XOR input
signals. The traditional C.T. transformer will work equally well (or bad).
