The GHz-Peaked-Spectrum (GPS) radio sources are galaxies and quasars with compact structures on scales of tens to hundreds of parsecs and spectrum peaking around 1 GHz. Phillips and Mutel (1982) suggested that the double GPS sources (also called compact doubles, CD) are an early stage of the evolution of the classical double sources of Fanaroff-Riley class II type. We have presented a model (Carvalho, 1985) in which we show that the properties of the CD sources are consistent with such a scenario. Their ages would be of the order of 104 yr.
