A measurement device, for determining both the dielectric constant and the electrical conductivity of a fill substance includes two electrodes that may contact the fill substance and a high frequency measuring unit that couples a high frequency signal into the first electrode and receives the high frequency signal at the second electrode after interaction of the high frequency signal with the fill substance. The dielectric constant of the fill substance is determined based on the received high frequency signal. A conductivity measuring unit couples a supplemental measuring signal into one of the electrodes and couples the supplemental measuring signal out of the other electrode after interaction of the supplemental measuring signal with the fill substance. The conductivity of the fill substance is determined based on the out-coupled measuring signal. The measurement device includes a signal splitting unit to separate the high frequency and supplemental signals from one another.
