Simulating a time series with a given spectrum

Hi All: Is there a routine in R that allows me to simulate a time series that has a given spectrum? I have looked at the R Time Series Task view, and have done a web search also, including an article to appear in the handbook of statistics on time series in R, but I don?t see anything offhand. There are some that will simulate state-space models or for given covariances matrices, but for a variety of reasons I would prefer simulating series with a given spectrum.
It is relatively simple to do for series of lengths a power of two (and you can simulate a longer series to achieve this). Use the spectrum values to simulate independent complex normals with uniform phase and variance proportional to the spectral density at the Fourier frequencies then use the inverse fft() to get the series. You should be able to copy some code from boot::tsboot()'s 'scramble' method.
Thanks for any help. -Roy ********************** "The contents of this message do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government or NOAA." ********************** Roy Mendelssohn Supervisory Operations Research Analyst NOAA/NMFS Environmental Research Division Southwest Fisheries Science Center ***Note new address and phone*** 110 Shaffer Road Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Phone: (831)-420-3666 Fax: (831) 420-3980 e-mail: Roy.Mendelssohn at noaa.gov www: http://www.pfeg.noaa.gov/
