Tandem glider

A tandem glider is two gliders traveling on parallel lanes at a fixed spacetime offset, usually as a single signal in a Herschel transceiver.

Tandem gliders can be labelled with an abbreviation Gn. A "G" followed by any integer value n means two parallel glider outputs with lanes separated by the specified number of half diagonals. For example, HSW1T43_SW-2T21 is a H-to-G3 converter.
