Oct 18, 2016 at 22:54 comment added user129412 @OlliNiemitalo Yes, that is useful. So in a way a damped harmonic oscillator is a process that generates such a PSD. Interesting. Would be nice to know if there is also some generic stochastic process that would lead to such behaviour though. But in a way a damped harmonic oscillator is such a process.

Oct 18, 2016 at 14:46 comment added user129412 @OlliNiemitalo My argument is too handwavy. The full PSD would be $S(f) = \frac{a}{1+((f-f_0)/b)^2} + \frac{a}{1+((f+f_0)/b)^2}$ which does not suffer from those problems. I've edited the question to incorporate your comments.

Oct 18, 2016 at 13:42 comment added user129412 @OlliNiemitalo Right, you are completely correct. The $S(f)$ I specified is for $f>0$, for $f<0$ you have the mirror image. That's my bad, should have made it clear that it is a real signal and I'm therefore restricting myself to the description of the positive part.
Oct 17, 2016 at 16:39 comment added user129412 I should note that I encountered the PSD in the context of a rather involved physics experiment, in which we have physically generated time signals with such a power spectral density and studied the behaviour as a function of center frequency. There was definitely a physical difference, but this is of course expected.
