Disclosed is to a measuring device for determining a dielectric value of a fill substance, as well as to a method for its operation. The underpinning idea is based on transmitting a high frequency signal as radar signal in the direction of the fill substance, and receiving the radar signal after passage through the fill substance. A phase detector of the receiving unit of the measuring device produces a first evaluation signal, which changes proportionally to a phase difference between the received radar signal and the produced high frequency signal. An evaluation circuit of the receiving unit determines based on the first evaluation signal at least a real part of the dielectric value. Advantageous in the case of such dielectric value determination is that the measuring device can be applied without having first to be calibrated.
