Sort of.

I dislike the use of the term "regulation" when there is no regulator in the 
circuit, but that's my personal problem.

The type of voltage doubler circuit used determines ripple frequency and ripple 
voltage.  For a given filter capacitance, the circuit yielding the higher 
frequency and/or lower voltage will give better regulation. 

For a given circuit, higher capacitance will yield better regulation at the 
expense of higher inrush current and expense.

I would like to look at ways to improve the Voltage Regulation in a Voltage 
Doubler Circuit.
I tried Google, but didn't get much on the actual calculations involved.

Since we have certain givens; such as The AC Line is what it is, the Plate Xfmr 
is what it is, the only variable in the equation would be the Capacitor value. 
Am I correct in that assumption ?

Can anyone point me to a reference that I can use ?

Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ
