Test: English For telecommunications

Test 1 (Time: 90 minutes - Do not use dictionary)
I. Answer the questions, basing on the passage.
Telephones: Wires and Cables
A modern telephone often includes a bell so it can ring and a keypad and
frequency generator. There is an electronic microphone, amplifier and circuit. The
mechanical bell is often replaced by a speaker and a circuit to generate a pleasant
ringing tone. But a regular telephone remains one of the simplest devices ever.
The telephone network starts in your house. A pair of copper wires runs from a
box at the road to a box at your house. From there, the pair of wires is connected to
each phone jack in your house (usually using red and green wires). If your house has
two phone lines, then two separate pairs of copper wires run from the road to your
house. The second pair is usually colored yellow and black inside your house.
Along the road runs a thick cable packed with 100 or more copper pairs.
Depending on where you are located, this thick cable will run directly to the phone
company's switch in your area or it will run to a box about the size of a refrigerator that
acts as a digital concentrator.

What is a Satellite?
A satellite is basically any object that revolves around a planet. The moon is
Earth's original, natural satellite, and there are many artificial satellites, usually closer
to Earth.
• The path a satellite follows is an orbit. In the orbit, the farthest point from Earth
is the apogee, and the nearest point is the perigee.
• Artificial satellites generally are not produced a lot. Most satellites are custom
built. Yet, the GPS satellites (with over 20 copies in orbit) and the Iridium
satellites (with over 60 copies in orbit).
• Approximately 23,000 items of space junk which are floating above Earth. The
actual number varies depending on which agency is counting. This online
catalog of satellites has almost 26,000 entries!
Although anything that is in orbit around Earth is technically a satellite, the term
"satellite" is typically used to describe a useful object placed in orbit to perform some
specific task. We often hear about weather satellites, communication satellites and
scientific satellites.
New words: - perigee: cận điểm, điểm gần trái đất nhất
- artificial: nhân tạo - apogee: điểm xa trái đất nhất
- custom built: sản xuất theo đơn đặt hàng - orbit: quỹ đạo

Perhaps the telephone you have in your house is one of the most amazing devices
ever created. If you want to talk to someone, all you have to do is pick up the phone
and dial a few digits. You are instantly connected to that person, and you can have a
two-way conversation. The telephone network extends worldwide, so you can reach
nearly anyone on the planet. When you compare that to the state of the world just 100
years ago, when it might take several weeks to get a one-way written message to
someone, you realize just how amazing the telephone is!
Surprisingly, a telephone is one of the simplest devices you have in your house. It
is so simple because the telephone connection to your house has not changed in nearly
a century. If you have an antique phone from the 1920s, you could connect it to the
wall jack in your house and it would work fine!
The very simplest working telephone could only contain three parts and they are
all simple:
• A switch to connect and disconnect the phone from the network - This switch is
generally called the hook switch. It connects when you lift the handset.
• A speaker - This is generally a little speaker.
• A microphone - In the past, telephone microphones were so simple: carbon
granules compressed between two thin metal plates.
New words: - granules: những hạt nhỏ
Questions:
1. What do you do with the telephone if you want to talk to someone?
All you have to do is pick up the phone and dial a few digits
2. In what way can you realize how amazing the telephone is?
When you compare that to the state of the world just 100 years ago.
3. How many parts could the very simplest working telephone contain?
The are three parts.
4. What does a switch do?
A switch to connect and disconnect the phone from the network.
5. Were telephone microphones in the past complicated:
.

The basic elements of a telecommunication system are:
• a transmitter that takes information and converts it to a signal for transmission
• a transmission medium over which the signal is transmitted
• a receiver that receives and converts the signal back into usable information
For example, consider a radio broadcast. In this case the broadcast tower is the
transmitter, the radio is the receiver and the transmission medium is free space. Often
telecommunication systems are two-way and devices act as both a transmitter and
receiver or transceiver. For example, a mobile phone is a transceiver.
Telecommunication over a phone line is called point-to-point communication because it
is between one transmitter and one receiver, telecommunication through radio
broadcasts is called broadcast communication because it is between one powerful
transmitter and numerous receivers.
Signals can either be analogue or digital. In an analogue signal, the signal is
varied continuously with respect to the information. In a digital signal, the information
is encoded as a set of discrete values (e.g. 1's and 0's).
Telecommunications devices convert different types of information, such as
sound and video, into electrical or optical signals. Electrical signals typically travel
along a medium such as copper wire or are carried over the air as radio waves. Optical
signals typically travel along a medium such as glass fibers. When a signal reaches its
destination, the device on the receiving end converts the signal back into an
understandable message, such as sound over a telephone, moving images on a
television, or words and pictures on a computer screen.
Questions:
1. What are the basic elements of a telecommunication system
A transmitter, a transmission, a receiver
2. Why is telecommunication over a phone line called point-to-point
communication?
Because it is between one transmitter and me receiver .
3. How is the information encoded in a digital signal?
In digital signal, the information is encoded as a set of discrete values.
4. How do electrical signals typically travel?
They typically travel a long… as tradio waver.
5. What does the device on the receiving end do to the signal?
10
The device on the receiving … on computer screen.
II. Translate the passage into Vietnamese. (Telecommunications devices ... on a
computer screen.)

A collection of transmitters, receivers or transceivers that communicate with
each other is known as a network. Digital networks may consist of one or more routers
that route data to the correct user. An analogue network may consist of one or more
switches that establish a connection between two or more users.
For both types of network, a repeater may be necessary to amplify or recreate the
signal when it is being transmitted over long distances. This is to combat attenuation
that can render the signal indistinguishable from noise.
A channel is a division in a transmission medium so that it can be used to send
multiple independent streams of data. For example, a radio station may broadcast at 96
MHz while another radio station may broadcast at 94.5 MHz. In this case the medium
has been divided by frequency and each channel received a separate frequency to
broadcast on.
Questions:
1. What is a network?
A network is a callection of transmitters receivers or transceivers that communicate with
each other.

The first telephone exchange opened in New Haven, Connecticut in 1878. Later
exchanges consisted of one to several hundred plug boards staffed by operators. A
calling party (known as the subscriber), would lift the receiver, a light near the plug
would light, and the operator would switch into the circuit to ask, "number please?"
(3)Depending upon the answer, the operator might plug the plug into a local jack and start
the ringing cycle, or plug into an other circuit to start what might be a long distance call
handled by subsequent operators in another building miles away.
In 1918 the average time to complete a long-distance call was 15 minutes. In the
ringdown method, the originating operator called another intermediate operator who
would call the called subscriber, or passed it on to another intermediate operator. This
chain of intermediate operators could complete the call only if all of the intermediate
trunk lines were available at the same time. In 1943 when military calls had priority, a
cross-country US call might take as long as 2 hours to request and schedule.
New words: - staff: bố trí, sắp xếp - jack: jắc cắm

Advantages of Fiber Optics
Why are fiber-optic systems revolutionizing telecommunications? Here are some
advantages of optical fibers in comparison to conventional metal wire (copper wire):
• Less expensive - Several miles of optical cable can be made cheaper than
equivalent lengths of copper wire. This saves your provider (cable TV, Internet)
and you money.
• Thinner - Optical fibers can be drawn to smaller diameters than copper wire.
• Higher carrying capacity - Because optical fibers are thinner than copper wires,
more fibers can be bundled into a given-diameter cable than copper wires.
• Less signal fading - The loss of signal in optical fiber is less than in copper wire.
• Light signals - Unlike electrical signals in copper wires, light signals from one
fiber do not interfere with those of other fibers in the same cable. This means
clearer phone conversations or TV reception.
• Low power - lower-power transmitters can be used instead of the high-voltage
electrical transmitters needed for copper wires.
• Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying digital information,
which is especially useful in computer networks.
• Non-flammable - Because no electricity is passed through optical fibers, there is
no fire hazard.
• Lightweight - An optical cable weighs less than a comparable copper wire cable.
Fiber-optic cables take up less space in the ground.
• Flexible - Fiber optics are so flexible and can transmit and receive light.
Questions:
1. Why are fiber-optic systems revolutionizing telecommunications?
Because they have some advantages in comparison to conventional metal wire.
2. Which can be drawn to smaller diameters?
Optical fiber.
3. Why can more fibers be bundled into a given-diameter cable?
Because optical fibers are thinner.
4. Why are they non-flammable?

What are Fiber Optics?
Fiber optics (optical fibers) are long, thin strands of very pure glass about the
diameter of a human hair. They are arranged in bundles called optical cables and used
to transmit light signals over long distances.
If you look closely at a single optical fiber, you will see that it has the following
parts:
• Core – Thin glass center of the fiber where the light travels
• Cladding – Outer optical material surrounding the core that reflects the light back
into the core
• Buffer coating – Plastic coating that protects the fiber from damage and moisture
Hundreds or thousands of these optical fibers are arranged in bundles in optical
cables. The bundles are protected by the cable’s outer covering, called a jacket.
Optical fibers come in two types:
• Single-mode fibers
• Multi-mode fibers
Single-mode fibers have small cores and transmit infrared laser light. Multi-
mode fibers have larger cores and transmit infrared light from light-emitting diodes
(LEDs).
Some optical fibers can be made from plastic. These fibers have a large core and
transmit visible red light. from LEDs.
Because fiber optics have many advantages, you see fiber optics in many
industries, most notably telecommunications and computer networks. For example, if
you telephone Europe from the United States (or vice versa) and the signal is via a
communications satellite, you often hear an echo on the line. But with transatlantic
fiber-optic cables, you have a direct connection with no echoes.

Remote access
The Internet allows computer users to connect to other computers and
information stores easily, wherever they may be across the world. They may do this
with or without the use of security technologies, depending on the requirements.
This is encouraging new ways of working from home, collaboration and
information sharing in many industries. An accountant sitting at home can audit the
books of a company based in another country. Some of these examples were possible
before the widespread use of the Internet, but the cost of private, leased lines would
have been very high.
An office worker away from his desk, perhaps the other side of the world on a
business trip or a holiday, can “open” his normal office PC using a secure Virtual
Private Network (VPN) connection via the Internet. This gives him complete access to
all his normal files and data, including e-mail and other applications, while he is away.

Telecommunication is the transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose
of communication. In modern times, this process almost always involves the sending of
electromagnetic waves by electronic transmitters but in earlier years it may have used
smoke signals, drums...
Today, telecommunication is widespread and devices that assist the process, such
as the television, radio and telephone, are common in many parts of the world. There is
also vast networks that connect these devices, including computer networks, public
telephone networks, radio networks and television networks. Computer communication
across the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging, is just one of many examples
of telecommunication.
Telecommunication systems are generally designed by telecommunication
engineers. Some of them are Alexander Bell who invented the telephone (as we know
it), John Logie Baird who invented the mechanical television and Guglielmo Marconi
who first demonstrated transatlantic radio communication.
In recent times, optical fibre has improved the bandwidth available for
Intercontinental communication, helping to bring faster Internet services.
Telecommunications is an important part of the world economy.
