## Abstract A theoretical model is presented for the performance evaluation of multichannel systems based on an electroโ€optic external modulator. It is able to explain the asymptotic behavior of the signalโ€toโ€intermodulation ratio against modulating signal power. In particular, it is verified that,

An imbalance in the modulation voltages for the two branches of a Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator causes frequency chirp. In combination with optical cavities, fiber dispersion, or EDFA gainslope, this chirp introduces distortion in analog lightwave CATV systems. We have derived expressions for the freq
