Intercept Technology Inc.

Intercept Technology Inc., a leader in EDA engineering and layout applications, announces a major new enhancement release of its Pantheon PCB layout software, which includes specialized RF and Hybrid design flows. Following version 7's award-winning debut*, Intercept continues to make great strides forward with its latest version, 7.0_02C.

With Intercept’s Pantheon layout software, RF design is made easy with its flexible shape and fill creation and management, detailed stackup builder, 3D viewer, and automated via handling. Modeling with HFSS is as easy as “cutting” a section of a design from the layout and sending it to HFSS for simulation.

Intercept’s specialized RF design flow with AWR allows engineers or designers to begin a design in AWR’s Microwave Office™, Pantheon™ layout software, or Mozaix™ schematic software. This flexibility is made possible by Intercept’s ability to send data to and from AWR’s Microwave Office bidirectionally, allowing designers and engineers to maintain closer communication during the design cycle.

The Intercept Technology RF Design flow includes Pantheon™ layout software with specialized RF design options, and bidirectional simulation interfaces to Ansys DesignerRF™, Ansys HFSS™ and AWR Microwave Office™. Vendor-specific RF models can be defined parametrically and placed in the layout, maintaining the simulation stream one-for-one.

Intercept Technology’s award-winning Pantheon PCB layout software with specialized RF and Hybrid user flows is now more affordable than ever. Integrated with a full CAD/CAE environment flow, Pantheon includes bidirectional RF simulation interfaces to Ansys DesignerRF™, Ansys HFSS™ and AWR Microwave Office™, RF models, reuse blocks, multi-board capabilities, panel arrays, artwork panelization,and more.

Intercept Technology Inc., a leading provider of PCB, RF, Hybrid, and high-speed design software, celebrates its 30th year of EDA software solutions development.

Intercept Technology Inc., a leading provider of PCB, RF, Hybrid, and high-speed design software solutions in the EDA industry, is the recipient of the 2012 New Product Introduction (NPI) Award from Printed Circuit Design & Fab Magazine in the PCB Design Tools category.

Intercept Technology Inc.® announces that development is under way for 3-dimensional design in Pantheon. The 3D environment will be directly embedded into the main software drawing routines so that all aspects of layout design can be accomplished in a three dimensional view. The 3D environment will empower designers to place, route, and make design edits directly in the 3-dimensional view.
