In this paper, the relationship between direct measurement of X-ray pulsar angular position and second-order correlation is analyzed by classical statistical optics. On this basis, a scheme for measuring pulsar angle position is put forward on account of X-ray band intensity correlation, which is expected to achieve a positioning accuracy of 10 Mas. Finally, the connection between positioning accuracy and complex correlation in the intensity correlation measurement is studied. Also, main factors that affected the measurement are analyzed.
