This is not homework. I am doing old exams so i have the full solution but need help understanding it.

1. Homework Statement

A WSS random signal {X(t)}t∈R with PSD S_X(ω) is transmitted on a noisy channel where it is disturbed by an additive zero-mean WSS random noise {N(t)}t∈R that is independent of the signal X and has PSD S_N (ω).

The recived signal Y (t) = X(t)+N(t) is input to a linear system (/filter) with output signal Z(t) that has frequency response

##H(ω) = S_X (ω)/(S_X (ω) + S_N (ω)).##

Express the mean-square deviation

##E((Z(t)− X(t))^2)##

in terms of

##S_X , S_N##.3. The solution

Writing h for the impulse response of the filter and ⋆ for convolution the fact that h ⋆ N is zero-mean and independent of X (as N is) readily gives that

##E((Z(t) − X(t))^2) = E(((h ⋆X)(t) + (h ⋆N)(t) − X(t))^2) =##

##(i) = E((((h−δ)⋆X)(t) + (h ⋆N)(t))^2) =##

##= E(((h−δ)⋆X)(t)^2 + (h⋆N)(t)^2) = #### (ii) = 1/2π \int^{+\infty}_{-\infty} [|H(ω)−1|^2 S_X(ω) + |H(ω)|^2 S_N(ω)] dω = ##

##. . . = 1/2π \int^{+\infty}_{-\infty} S_X(ω)S_N(ω)/(S_X (ω) +S_N(ω)) dω ##

**************************

I don't understand how you get to lines (i) and (ii) and i can't find any definitions that explains those steps.

What are WSS and PSD? I can guess the first one, but why should I need to? I cannot even guess about the second one.

Sorry, WSS = Wide sense stationary and PSD = Power spectral density
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
