An analog phase modulator is provided for linearly phase modulating a high carrier frequency input signal in proportion to an applied bias signal. A first variable reactance network, including at least a pair of variable reactance devices separated by an approximately 1/4 wave length transmission line segment, is capacitively coupled to an in-phase port of a power divider network, and a second identical variable reactance network is capacitively coupled to a quadrature phase shifted port of the power divider network. A bias source signal is applied to each of the first and second variable reactance networks through identical bias filters, each including a high impedance transmission line segment serially connected between the bias source and the variable reactance network, and a low impedance transmission line segment shunt segment at the juncture of the high impedance transmission line segment and the bias source input port.
