Although spectral analysis is one of the oldest tools for time series analysis, it is still one of the most widely used analysis techniques in many branches of sciences, [1] - [6] . For zero mean r-vector valued strictly stationary time series, the spectral estimation has been studied, [7] - [17] . Time series with missing observations frequantly appear in paractice. If a block of observations is periodically unobtainable, Jones [18] provides a development for spectral estimation of a stationary time series. The theory of amplitude-modulated stationary processes has been developed by Parzen [19] and applied to periodic missing observations problems [20] . The case where an observation is made or not according to the out come of a Bernoulli trial has been discussed by Scheinok [21] . Bloomfield [22] considered the case where a more general random mechanism is involved. Broersen et al. [23] and [24] developed models for time series with missing observation and discussed their use for spectral estimation. Unbiased spectral estimators have been formulated assuming wavelet models of stationary time series by [25] . Their asymptotic properties have been also investigated.

In this paper, we will discuss the spectral analysis of a strictly stationary r-vector valued continuous time series with randomly missing observations in joint segments of observations. The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 introduces the basic definitions and assumptions. The modified series is defined in Section 3. Section 4 considers the expanded finite Fourier transform and its properties. The modified periodogram, the spectral density estimator and its properties are given in Section 5.

Because cumulants are measures of the joint dependence of random variables, (2.4) is seen to be a form of mixing or asymptotic independence requirement for values of well separated in time. If satisfies Assumption I we may define its cumulant spectral densities by

Assumption II. Let is bounded, is of bounded variation

and vanishes for all t outside the interval, that is called data window.

Let be a process independent of such that, for every t

The success of recording an observation not depend on the fail of another and so it is independent. We may then define the modified series

In the case when there are some randomly missing observations, Elhassanein [17] constructed the expanded finite Fourier transform on disjoint segments of observations. In this section the expanded finite Fourier transform is constructed in L-joint segments of observations for a strictly stationary r-vector valued time series. Expression for its mean, variance and cumulant will be derived. The results introduced here may be regarded as a generalization to [13] and [17] . Let be an observed stretch of data with some randomly missing observations. Let, where L is the number of joint segments and N is the length of each segment and M is the length of joint parts, , where we get the results in [17] . The expanded finite Fourier transform of a given stretch of data, is defined by
