## What is Gemini?

Gemini is a dual channel 2.4GHz OR 900MHz system. However, it is currently NOT Dual Band e.g. 2.4GHz and 900MHz simultaneous transmissions.
Gemini is a dual channel 2.4GHz and/or 900MHz (and potentially other low-band frequencies) transmission mode that leverages true diversity hardware to maximize LQ. This page covers single-band Gemini mode, which uses diversity hardware to transmit in multiple channels within the same band (e.g. 2.4GHz or 900MHz). There is also a dual-band mode, Gemini Xrossband or GemX, which is capable of transmitting on both 2.4GHz and 900MHz bands simultaneously. Please see the [PR here](https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/pull/2540) for more info while the documentation is updated.

In Gemini Mode, a TX module simultaneously transmits a packet in two frequencies 40MHz apart for 2.4GHz and ~10MHz apart for 900MHz users. The packet separation used is half of the frequency domain selected and will vary a little. A true diversity Receiver is used to receive both packets simultaneously. Transmitting on 2 separate frequencies provides better interference avoidance and/or mitigation, in a similar way DVDA does by sending repeat packets sequentially on different frequencies. This means, the Receiver has an increased chance of receiving the packet. This results in a much higher and stable LQ.
