Abstract
The authors analyse, theoretically and experimentally, the impact of the bias conditions and of the optical modulation depth of a Mach-Zehnder external modulator on the optical transmission of a millimetre-wave modulated in 16-QAM format in the context of the development of hybrid optical/radio access networks
