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.

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’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.

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 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.
