I did a Google search and that abstract dated back 2003 makes this antenna worthless:

You know, it just keeps getting stranger and stranger. The first patented
dish antenna by XiumAir (
www.goxium.com ) covers all the TV channels, citizen
bands, shortwave, and so on. I was dismayed to read about this in Discover
Magazine (as an advertisement) and fondly hope that the consumers out there
have enough common sense to ignore it. I searched for their "patent" and
could not find it. Shopping in various stores here show cell phone antenna
stickers to apply to windshields, the battery compartment of the phone, a
forehead, whatever! When is this going to end? I suppose if I was
desperate I could use my limited expertise to suck in suckers. Hope I never
come to that.
