PRESS RELEASE
Intercept Technology Inc.® Advances its RF Design Flow with AWR Corporation's Microwave Office®
Expands Product Offering and Reduces Time-to-Market for RF Based Designs
DesignCon 2011 - Santa Clara, California - February 1, 2010 - Intercept Technology, Inc., a leader in PCB/Hybrid/RF electrical engineering applications, today announced an enhanced bidirectional link between Intercept's Mozaix schematic and Pantheon layout design applications and AWR Corporation's Microwave Office software. This bidirectional capability couples Intercept's Mozaix schematic, with full RF model and layout information imported and pushed forward from Mozaix to Pantheon PCB/Hybrid/RF layout, and AWR's Microwave Office RF/Microwave design environment. The bidirectional link also includes the ability for fully intelligent layout blocks with hierarchy to be passed seamlessly between the products, allowing simulated circuits to be reused any number of times in the layout. For demonstrations, visit Intercept at booth 320 in the Santa Clara Convention Center.
Additionally, Intercept's Mozaix schematic and Pantheon layout design applications offer an alternative design flow into AWR's Microwave Office software specifically for post-layout, final design-stage verification reliant upon the ODB++ data format. These two solutions/flows provide maximum flexibility for the engineers by allowing them to start the design in any one of the applications involved in the process; Mozaix schematic design, Pantheon layout, or AWR's Microwave Office or to remain in Mozaix/Pantheon for the majority of the engineering and design work and take the final concept to Microwave Office for verification.
"Intercept has demonstrated flexibility and responsiveness in not only dealing with our mutual customer requests, design and enhancements but in general as an AWR Alliance partner," stated Sherry Hess, VP marketing at AWR. "Focusing on the needs of the customer is a trait both companies share and share strongly!"
"AWR Corp. has been very responsive to our engineering efforts, allowing us to further expand our user base with Intercept's RF design and simulation capabilities," says Abby Monaco, Product Manager for Intercept. "Through our partnership, Intercept and AWR hope to bring greater success to RF and mixed RF/digital design installations world-wide."
