Capability requirements and tolerances
Consumer-specific numerical targets, quantities and acceptance limits remain open or incompletely reviewed. No smartphone-grade suitability is claimed. Distinct capability tiers require their own making route and qualification.

Making outline
- Attach etched-flex radiator to carrier and join signal/return contacts.
- Connect matching and tuner assemblies.
- Caller uses representative handset ground/enclosure geometry as test specimen and measures response; free-space matching alone does not establish efficiency.
What remains unresolved
- Making route and target-level requirements not researched.
- Discovery hypothesis only: quantitative demands, full recipe, quantities, losses, compatibility and acceptance remain to be researched.
- Radiation efficiency/pattern/hand-loading/SAR facilities and targets remain unexpanded.
- Full inventory, quantities, losses, capability compatibility and acceptance remain unreviewed.
