Simulating an analog phase locked loop

In this introductory video tutorial I simulate a phase locked loop (PLL) using NI AWR Visual System Simulator (VSS). The goal of these "virtual experiments" on PLLs is to explore some basic design trade-offs and properties of PLLs. I created this video to help people learn how how PLLs operate, and hope that this video will help compliment the mathematical explanation of PLLs with dynamic simulations.
