Abstract
In this paper, we will study, via simulation, the transmission of DVB-C channels over an external modulated optical link using a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). We will also observe the consequences of biasing the MZM near its transmission minimum point, which allows higher carrier to noise ratio at the transmitter, but increases second-order distortion at the receiver.
