The power spectral density of a stationary square wave process with sign changes at the transitions of a finite state Markov renewal process is derived. Particularly explicit formulas are obtained for the Markovian Arrival Process, a generalization of the Poisson process with a natural matrix formalism which commonly leads to useful explicit results. An application to a procedure for the quantification of burstiness is discussed.
