==Other developments== Experiments with a ground-based version of Naxos using directional antennas had been carried out under the name ''Corfu''. Some effort was made to develop this into an airborne version, FuG 351 Corfu Z, but this never entered service. An attempt to address the limited resolution of Naxos was undertaken in the Korfu, which had a better antenna system and more sensitive receiver. Naxos receivers were also combined with the parabolic antennas from [[Würzburg radar]] systems to produce a long-range receiver tuned to the British [[Oboe (navigation)|Oboe]] [[radio navigation]] system. The system later used a Domeyer receiver and became the [[Naxburg (radar detector)|Naxburg]] system. Oboe broadcast pulses from the aircraft that needed to be powerful enough to be received by ground stations in the UK. This made them relatively easy to pick out at short ranges, as long as the receiver was tuned to a suitable frequency. When such a signal was detected, false pulses identical to those received from the aircraft were re-broadcast from the ground. Stations in the UK thus received two or more signals for every signal they sent out, which confused the detectors.<ref name="Brown, Naxburg" />
