This is a nice but expensive equipment.
Nice: can do PN measurement by phase quadrature(where you need to 
oscillators) _and_ can doe cross-correlation measuremnts (where you need 
only one external oscillator).
Expensive: depending on options abt US-$ 100,000 to $150,000

If you are ready to spend so much money, consider the Agilent Signal 
Source Analyser 5052B, who does use the cross-correlation method and has 
a lot of other features.

But both of them are no ham gear yet...
