To some degree. The cross-correlation processing is a tool to break free
of the channels added noise and go below it. It doesn't (significantly)
shift your amplitude response in the passband, but you can calibrate and
compensate that. It's thus a de-noiser tool inserted into the process
pipe-line, but other than that the phase-noise calculations is about the
same.
To some degree the DMTD technique is somewhat related, but some of the
correlation gain is usually lost.
Cheers,
Magnus
